"This accessible re-retelling of Louisa May Alcott’s coming-of-age classic brims with the energy and spirit of the original"
Interest Age 11+ Reading Age 9
Slickly plotted, and laced with lovely evocative detail, Laura Wood’s re-telling of Little Women is written in a clear, engaging style, with lots of emotion readers will relate to. As a result, Louisa May Alcott’s coming-of-age classic about the four unforgettable March sisters can now be enjoyed by a wide, contemporary audience. Being part of Barrington Stoke’s Classic Retellings series, that’s especially true for 11+ year-olds who struggle with longer works, and dyslexic readers.
The sisters’ personalities and family dynamics are brilliantly evoked — their love, hopes, troubles, worries, arguments and ambition, with lots of whip-sharp dialogue and emotion driving the plot.
Lively, lucid, and true to the spirit of the original, this is a mighty fine retelling Jo March herself might be proud of.
Little Women, the charming story of the brave and resilient March sisters, has been adored by generations of readers who have identified with the struggles of kind and pretty Meg; gentle, delicate Beth; precocious, artistic Amy; and of course wild, tomboyish Jo, determined to forge her own path and become a writer.
