Reading outside the box- Classic

Title: Jane Eyre

Retold by: Muriel Fyfe

Opinion: This book was interesting because the proper spoken English used, made the scene sound so much more realistic in this time of life because you could imagine them saying these sentences. The characters in this story are all very different as they have different family members with different personalities which have change themselves to be either nice, mean or crazy, so I found each little part they played, changed this book's conflict, these different personalities created conflict that was interesting.

Recommendation: Any age groups could read this book whether it was read to them or they were reading it because it is very clear and understandable and is a great story. Boys and girls could read this because the two main characters are a boy and a girl.

Blurb: This story is about a girl called Jane Eyre who had no parents and lives with her horrible Aunt after her Uncle left.
