Rachel Crawford at Bonza Schooldays writes: ''In Jancy Stands Alone, Jancy is now fifteen and spends an action-packed Christmas holidays with three spinster sisters. A girl is saved from her evil stepmother, missing family money and jewels are found and a difficult uncontrollable son reforms. Jancy finds romance with a teenage boy called Geoffrey'.
The publisher's blurb states: 'The setting for this new book is the South Coast of New South Wales, that the author knows so well and, like "Jancy Wins Through," "Jancy Scores Again" and "Jancy in Pursuit," deals with the lively adventures of this frank, reliable and courageous girl who has now grown into a lovely young lady of fifteen. We meet the quaint fascinating old ladies Miss Emmeline, Miss Euphemia and Miss Eulalie, the good-looking young Englishman, Godfrey, and his arrogant brother, Geoffrey, the big, shaggy artist, Jerry Bentham, who Anne Bracken presents with affectionate understanding in this well-written story'.
