![]() ![]() To whom would you recommend this book? Students who aren’t quite ready for the original yet or students who adore the classic and are curious about what it would look like as a modern retelling. The original is so much richer so, at times, it felt like the story was lacking a little or too condensed. I especially love all the recipes and craft ideas that pepper the book.Īnything you didn’t like about it? It’s hard to rewrite a classic, especially in around 200 pages. Some of the stories from the original book remain and are updated appropriately (the girls write a ‘zine instead of a play), but other stories are new to this version. ![]() The characters are translated beautifully to modern times. I was enchanted by this sweet modern middle grade version of Little Women, however. I was prepared to dislike this book the original is one of my favorite books of all time. Littler Women follows the four girls, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy in one calendar year as they begin to grow up. March works at a community center and the four girls are much like their original counterparts except that their peers have cell phones. March is abroad with the Coast Guard Mrs. What did you like about the book? The classic Little Women is retold in modern times.
