Jane Blonde is the eponymous heroine of the Jane Blonde series of young adult novels by Jill Marshall. Jane Blonde is a James Bondesque spy, who is sent on missions and equipped with (often disguised) gadgets. Reviewers[who?] have praised Marshall's action sequences and pacing, but several[who?] have also expressed confusion stemming from the number of characters, many of whom assume multiple names, and some of the plot twists.
Jane Blonde has been identified as both a parody of the James Bond books/films and a girl power instance of the spy adventure genre epitomized by the James Bond franchise (rather than a parody proper).
On May 11, 2010, Jill Marshall announced that Sensational Spylet, the first book in the series, had been optioned by Bridge to Terabithia co-producer Tim Coddington [1].
