A modern-day graphic novel adaptation of Little Women that explores identity, friendships,
and new experiences through the eyes of thirteen-year-old Jo March. A must-read
for fans of Raina Telgemeier.
With the start of eighth grade, Jo March decides it’s time
to get serious about her writing and joins the school newspaper. But even with her
new friend Freddie cheering her on, becoming a hard-hitting journalist is a lot
harder than Jo imagined.
That’s not all that’s tough. Jo and her sisters—Meg, Beth, and Amy—are getting
used to a new normal at home, with their dad deployed overseas and their mom, a
nurse, working overtime.
And while it helps to hang out with Laurie, the boy
who just moved next door, things get complicated when he tells Jo he has
feelings for her. Feelings that Jo doesn’t have for him…or for any boy.
Feelings she’s never shared with anyone before. Feelings that Jo might have for
Freddie.
What does it take to figure out who you are? Jo March is about to find out.
