Louisa May Alcotts classic novel, set during the Civil War, has always captivated even the most reluctant readers. Little girls, especially, love following the adventures of the four March sisters--Meg, Beth, Amy, and most of all, the tomboy Jo--as they experience the joys and disappointments, tragedies and triumphs, of growing up. This simpler version captures all the charm and warmth of the original.
I love this book. I've read it many times since my childhood. I think that not just every girl, but every person should read it. It's especially good if you have siblings (I'm the oldest of 3 girls) or even better to understand a sibling relationship if you don't have siblings.
