Prom and Prejudice-Elizabeth Eulberg
One of the hallmarks of a great story is that it can be taken many years later, twisted and updated and still remain completely enchanting. Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice is one such work.

I found this to be a cute adaption, similar to April Linder’s Jane. Both books update the plots to a contemporary setting without sacrificing the characters or intent of the plot. Young readers who are intimidated by the language of the original will find Prom and Prejudice a good stand in.
