Booklist Review

In this graphic novel retelling of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, readers will revisit the family that has charmed generations since its original publication 150 years ago. This new adaptation, set in contemporary times, finds the Marches, now a blended interracial family, dealing with modern concerns and problems. After Meg's dad meets Jo's mom, they fall in love, get married and soon after welcome Beth and Amy to their family in New York City. After their father is deployed overseas, their mother works overtime to keep them afloat, and the sisters struggle to support each other, especially when Beth falls ill, though her sickness ultimately brings the family closer together. This warmly illustrated book keeps all of the charming character and most of the major plot turns of the original story while updating it for modern readers by touching on issues of racism, bullying, homophobia, and more. The panels are easy to follow, and the lettering is clear and crisp. Readers both familiar and not with the March sisters journey will enjoy this rosy take on their well-loved story.
