Four sisters live with their mother, facing Christmas without their father as the American Civil War is underway. The family is settled in a new neighborhood, living in genteel poverty after the father lost their money. Meg and Jo March, the elder sisters, both work outside the home for money to support the family. Meg teaches four children in a nearby family, while Jo aids her grand-aunt March, a wealthy widow whose strength is failing. Beth helps with housework, and Amy attends school. Their nearest neighbor is a wealthy man whose orphaned grandson lives with him. The sisters introduce themselves to the handsome shy boy, Laurie, who is the age of Jo. Meg is the beautiful sister; Jo is the tomboy; Beth is the musician; and Amy is the charming artist with blond curls. Jo is impulsive and quick to anger. One of her challenges in growing up is to control acting out of anger, a challenge that also faced her mother, Marmee. Marmee advises Jo on speaking with forethought. The boy Laurie enjoys his neighbors, joining the family often in play and home theatrics written by Jo. His grandfather, Mr. Laurence, is charmed by Beth, and gives her the piano used by Laurie’s dead sister.

I love this story of 4 sisters and their friends & family! At time the description & wordage gets a little long, but the plot is interesting! Give it a try!
I've really been meaning to read this but I never have any time. I never have a lot of time to read books that have been sitting on my shelf forever.
in want to read it again. I was in 2 grade when I read it. lots of weird words.... I am going to read it again this year for gate program
I read the abridged version of this book for younger readers, and I decided that it was- and is- one of my most favorite books about sisters, troubles, and the course of life.
I when my sister cima11 told me about it i wanted to read it. like right away. you should read it to.
Cool book. My favorite charecter is beth 2nd jo 3rd meg and last amy. No offence to the people who like amy i just think she was acting kind of mean on christmas.
