Description:
Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy is a vibrant, full-colour graphic novel that transplants Louisa May Alcott's beloved Little Women to Brooklyn, New York in 2019 — and breathes bold new life into it. The March sisters are now a blended, multiracial family: with their father deployed overseas with the military and their mother working double shifts to keep the family afloat, the four girls navigate a year of real, relatable struggles. Eldest Meg dreams of a more glamorous life; fiercely independent Jo wrestles with her identity and sexuality; shy Beth discovers her voice through music; and youngest Amy hides her anxieties behind a big personality. Written by Rey Terciero and illustrated by Bre Indigo, this thoughtfully reimagined retelling keeps the heart of the classic intact while centering diversity, sisterhood, and self-discovery. Praised by Kirkus and Publishers Weekly. Recommended for readers aged 9 and above.
