Little Women as a contemporary graphic novel? Yes please! Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy by Rey Terciero and Bre Indigo is a modern retelling of Little Women, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Louisa May Alcott's iconic novel.

Whether introducing children or reluctant readers to LW or reinterpreting it for avid fans, this graphic novel will appeal to an array of readers. In it, the Marches are a blended family of diverse ethnic origins.

While several aspects of the plot have been adapted for the contemporary setting and March daughters' ages, other key points are here, and it was interesting to see them appear.
