Prom and Prejudice


Prom and Prejudice by Elizabeth Eulberg is a fantastic modern re-telling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Set in New York, the heroine, Elizabeth, is a scholarship student at an all girl academy, Longborne, while the hero, Darcy, goes to neighboring Pemberly Academy. With their best friends dating it is difficult for them to not be together often, even though they dislike each other. With a spellbinding plot, relatable heroine, and an even more evil villain than the original, Eulberg takes Pride and Prejudice successfully from a classic literary book to a completely relatable tale which leaves the teen reader completely satisfied in the ending.
