| Summary |
With the start of eighth grade, Jo March decides it's time to get serious about her writing and joins the school newspaper. But even with her new friend Freddie cheering her on, becoming a hard-hitting journalist is a lot harder than Jo imagined. That's not all that's tough. Jo and her sisters, Meg, Beth, and Amy, are getting used to a new normal at home, with their dad deployed overseas and their mom working overtime. And while it helps to have a new friend in Laurie, the boy who just moved in next door, things get complicated when he tells Jo he has feelings for her. Feeling that Jo doesn't have for him, or for any boy. Feelings that Jo thinks she might have for Freddie. How do you discover who you want to become when you're not entirely sure who you are? Jo March is about to find out. |
