By Louisa May Alcott
Sequel to Little Women: Good Wives
Rating: **** (4 stars)
Age group: 10+
Type: semi-autobiographical
Meet the March sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, each with their own special uniqueness and talent. Meg has talent in acting. Jo excels at writing. Beth is extremely talented at playing the piano and Amy's drawings are simply superb. Step into another world and watch as they put on plays, go on picnics, and just have a good time together. You'll also meet Laurie, a friendly boy neighbour and his father, Mr. Laurence. And don't forget Marmee and Mr. March, the cheerful, kind, and caring parents. Filled with interesting parts, this book is very special.
This book is definitely believable. People DO get married and have kids and put on plays and get mad and get vain and go into the army and get sick and sew and knit and stuff. Also people (SLIGHT SPOILER ALERT!!!!)...
...die. The hardships that happen to the Marches could also happen to other families too. So this book is believable.
If you liked Little Women and Good Wives you might like Louisa May Alcott's other books, like Little Men and Jo's Boys.
You really should read this book especially the Puffin Classics version as that one has a whole special part in the back. Plus the introduction is really funny and by Louise Rennison whose books you should read also.
If you want you can visit Orchard House, where Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women. It is in Concord, Massachusetts. It is really awesome.
