Jo March enters middle school and joins the newspaper club! 

This is a fantastic modern retelling of Little Women that focuses on family, friendship, and identity!

I thought this was such a cute graphic novel. I love the retelling of Little Women. I love how this is such a great middle grade novel and I like how Jo is 13 and in middle school. I love how she is doing a blog to tell about her life and family. I think this was such a great story about family, friendship, and identity.

Sweet and queer and a bit bland. A good quick read for the snowy spring day I had!

Little Women is one of my all-time favorite classics, and I loved this modernized re-telling! All the good with none of the sad.
