Little Women and Me
Author(s): Lauren Baratz-Logsted
Emily is sick and tired of being a middle sister. So when she gets an assignment to describe what she'd change about a classic novel, Emily pounces on Little Women. After all, if she can't change things in her own family, maybe she can bring a little justice to the March sisters. (Kill off Beth? Have cute Laurie wind up with Amy instead of Jo? What was Louisa May Alcott thinking?!) But when Emily gets mysteriously transported into the 1860s world of the book, she discovers that righting fictional wrongs won't be easy. And after being immersed in a time and place so different from her own, it may be Emily--not the four March sisters--who undergoes the most surprising change of all.
Product Information
Fans of Little Women will love this modern twist on an old favorite.
A consistently entertaining read that delivers a genuinely original heroine and frequently hilarious satire. Kirkus Reviews Much of the story's appeal derives from the contrast between this strange new land of Civil War-era New England and Emily's other life as a media-savvy, plugged-in, wisecracking kid trying to navigate adolescent angst in twenty-first-century real time. Booklist A smart, funny, and engaging novel. VOYA
