Follow Jane as she navigates a world so different but similar to ours. After her parents unexpected death, Jane must find someone to marry quickly in order to keep her home. But with her plain looks, it's a near impossible task. As she travels far beneath the sea to rescue her prince charming, she finds her worth along the way.
Beautifully illustrated, and a very sweet, charming, and beautiful book on how being apart from the beauty norm doesn't make you less worthy. I loved every second of it.
