Little Men

"Could I see anybody's soul with this microscope if I looked hard?" asked Demi, who was much impressed with the power of the bit of glass.

“No, dear; it's not powerful enough for that, and never can be made so. You must wait a long while before your eyes are clear enough to see the most invisible of God's wonders. But looking at the lovely things you can see will help you to understand the lovelier things you cannot see," answered Uncle Fritz, with his hand on the boy's head.

With the last words the circle narrowed till the good professor and his wife were taken prisoner by many arms, and half hidden by the bouquet of laughing young faces which surrounded them, proving that one plant had taken root and blossomed beautifully in all the little gardens. For love is a flower that grows in any soil, works its sweet miracles undaunted by autumn frost or winter snow, blooming fair and fragrant all the year, and blessing those who give and those who receive.

The characters from Little Women grow up and begin new adventures at Plumfield, a progressive school founded by Jo and her husband, Professor Burr.

Follows the adventures of Jo March and her husband Professor Bhaer as they try to make their school for boys a happy, comfortable, and stimulating place.

What a cute read. I was well aware that this was written for children, but I still enjoyed it. I was sad to say goodbye to an original character from the Little Women novel, but it was a good way for his character to go, I suppose. Nonetheless, it was charming and cute.

While I love 'Little Women', this was only ok. Felt more of a children's book in style of writing than an adult book and just failed to engage me.

Jessica Krcmarik

In all fairness, I was not a hardcore little women fan, but wanted to see if I liked this book as an adult as much as I did as a kid.

Verdict: Eeeeeeeh? ... I guess? Not particularly much happens and the Good Moral Character angle is brought up a lot, but I like seeing what the characters do after the first book and it’s interesting to see everyday life in the time period.
