Pride and Prejudice -- Jane Austen

Though her sisters are keen on finding men to marry, Elizabeth Bennet would rather wait for someone she loves - certainly not someone like Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, whom she finds to be smug and judgmental, in contrast to the charming George Wickham. But soon Elizabeth learns that her first impressions may not have been correct, and the quiet, genteel Mr. Darcy might be her true love after all.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Jane Austen<br><b>Publisher:</b> Penguin Young Readers Group<br><b>Published:</b> 12/22/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 384<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.72lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.19h x 5.58w x 1.03d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780142419199<br><b>Age Range:</b> 12-UP<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 12<br><b>Point Value:</b> 27<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>714 / Pride and Prejudice (Unabridged)<br><br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Entertainment Weekly</i> 07/05/2013 pg. 96<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish.
