Meg and Jo by Virginia Kantra
medium-paced
4.0
What if the March sisters’ story took place now instead of then? This was a very satisfying contemporary retelling.
Meg and Jo are [obviously] featured in this book, with alternating points of view. The sisters are older and the book covers less time than in the original, but it does not disappoint. Their personalities and situations are familiar and well captured, even with a few adjustments to complete the transformation into modern day.
Don’t worry: Beth, Amy, Marmee, and their father show up too! Not to mention Laurie (called Trey), Mr. Lawrence, plus some of the friends, like Sally Gardiner and Ned Moffat.
