Here’s a shelf-busting young adult novel: My Calamity Jane, a root-tootin’ sharpshootin’ tale of the wild west, complete with werewolves, outlaws, and razor wit. The authors (Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows) have been re-imagining strong female characters with a healthy dash of fantasy for a few novels now (My Lady Jane and My Plain Jane, for instance), and they’re in fine form for My Calamity Jane.
