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.
