| Publisher Description: Soon to be a major motion picture starring Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Timoth e Chalamet, and Meryl Streep "A fun addition for...young Little Women fans." --School Library Journal The March sisters encounter new friends, challenges, school dances, and more in this fresh, "jazzed-up" (Kirkus Reviews) modern retelling of the perennial classic, Little Women. Thirteen-year-old Meg March and her sisters Jo (twelve), Beth (ten), and Amy (nine) are a close-knit group who share in one another's hopes and dreams, as well as struggles and frustrations. Over the course of one year they get to know their neighbors the Lawrences, attend school dances and sleepovers, have first crushes, and grow closer as sisters, despite their differences. This sweet, contemporary take on part one of the beloved novel Little Women is the perfect introduction for young readers to the March family. With a craft project or recipe at the end of every chapter, Littler Women is sure to become a cherished favorite. |
