Little Women

Now a major new movie, starring Saoirse Ronan, Timothee Chalamet and Meryl Streep

Meet the March Sisters:

· Meg is the eldest and on the brink of love.

· Then there's tomboy Jo who longs to be a writer.

· Sweet-natured Beth always puts others first

· Finally there's Amy, the youngest and most precocious.

Even though money is short, times are tough and their father is away at war, their infectious sense of fun sweeps everyone up in their adventures - including Laurie, the boy next door.

And through sisterly squabbles and tragic losses, the sisters discover that growing up is sometimes very hard to do.

This hardback edition is one of five special Puffin Classic editions created in partnership with the world-famous V & A Museum, with exquisite cover designs from their William Morris collection.

Reviews

Gourlay spins slender threads of wishes and prayers, magic and miracles, desires and redemption
and weaves together an impressively sweet and rich tale

—— Kirkus

I enjoyed Candy Gourlay's Tall Story

—— Observer

This is a story that is funny, sad and magical. I thought the author chose a good subject to write about because she wrote about very real emotions. She also added a bit of imagination which made it very interesting. The main characters tell the story in alternate chapters. I would recommend this book - pure brilliant!

—— Teen Titles

It's an inspiring story remininding us just how impressive a character Obama is

—— Bournemouth Daily Echo

Jacqueline Wilson writes with great skill and humour about the reasons and results of bullying . . . Very readable . . .Tanya and Mandy will remain in readers' minds long after they close the book

—— Junior Bookshelf

Mandy's multiple dilemmas are sympathetically unravelled in this super story of true friendship

—— Carousel

Treading a sensitive, complex path among ethical, social and family issues, and dealing with bullying, illiteracy and friendship, this is a skilfully judged story that provokes lots of discussion

—— Guardian
