I had expected to read about a secret art girl gang, but what I hadn't realized is that the backdrop is the American fear of mass violence. That confirmed fear is what stokes the need for the girls to create beauty in the world. While the…

Even if you think you don't like graphic novels, you owe it to yourself and these characters to give this one a try -- smart, funny girls trying to survive high school and make the world a better place at the same time!

I liked that the plain janes do guerilla art in this graphic novel, but the framing of that part of the story into the larger story is not all that great. Drawings are good. I especially like the representation of 'Main Jane'. And the…

I found the Plain Janes to be an extremely interesting graphic novel. I was immediately drawn into the story and couldn’t wait to see where it was going. After surviving a terrorist bomb attack, her parents move themselves and their…

Awkward and kind of "indie-ish"

Cute story, liked the artwork and made me want to put a bunch of gnomes on the police station! Lol! Beyond funny, a bit of weird ending but overall funny!

As some other reviewers have commented, the plot is a tad outlandish. But it's still a fun read and makes a nice counterpoint to a lot of other more male-oriented graphic novels.

I really wanted to love this graphic novel, and I tried. I love the concept of a collection of activist misfit girls. However, I thought there were just too many elements going on (a bomb, overbearing parents, a mystery man in a coma…

Art Truly Saves, especially this book. It’s a good story and the illustrations are subtle yet expressive. This was the most enjoyable “girlie comic” I’ve ever read and perhaps it’s because it was written by a woman. It’s about girls and…

I really enjoyed this graphic novel with a twist. The characters are wonderful and the plot held my interest. I love the idea of teens annoying the authorities by committing random acts of public art!
