Jane Forbes

Jane Forbes

Jane Forbes is a fictional character written for the children's novel Crash in 1996.

Jane is spotted by John "Crash" Coogan in their middle school. Crash is attracted to her, and continuously flirts with her attempting to bring her to him, but fails every time. Crash is a bully to Jane's friend, Penn Webb, a quaker and vegetarian who lives in a garage-sized house. At the school dance Crash asked Jane to dance and she says no, but Crash seemingly won't take "no" for an answer, and boldly grabs her arm. Jane, in a fury of anger, kicks Crash in his achilles tendon.

Throughout the schoolyear, Crash continues to bully Penn Webb along with his friend Mike Deluca, but as the year progresses, Crash begins to realize that all Penn wants is to be his friend. At the end of the book it is stated that Jane invites Crash to her party and the two apparently become friends.
