I might have to stage my own P.L.A.I.N. team around my neighborhood. Of course, you never read this....

This was a lovely read about the friendship that develops between school rejects Jane, Jane, Jayne and Polly Jane (later joined by James) and Main Jane's quest to bring a little beauty into people's lives while also recovering from the trauma of being involved in a terrorist attack. Heartfelt and heartwarming. Jim Rugg's illustrations bring the characters to life with pathos and charm.
