Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Tomboy Jo March would rather die than spend time with wealthy, proper Aunt March.  She'd much rather race against the boys at school or star in all the swashbuckling plays she writes.  But when Aunt March offers to adopt one of the March sisters to help ease the family money problems, Jo decides to make the ultimate sacrifice.  She'll tear herself away from her sisters and parents--the family she dearly loves--if it means they'll have a better life.  She's determined to become the perfect lady.  Now Jo has to convince her family that she's sincere about her decision by taking on a role that may be too difficult to act.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Story
I like this book because it shows that Jo would do anything to make sure that her sisters won't be adopted by her aunt but instead have herself adopted by her aunt because she thought that her sisters won't mind that. But instead she learns that her sisters do care about her and that she shouldn't "jump to conclusions".



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It was a great book
I thought that this was a great book. It was about a girl who decides that she will live with her aunt, because she thinks that she fits the description best. I recommend it because you can relate the problems to your own, only in a different way.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What's so wrong with spin offs ?
This goes directly to " A reader from California" spin offs aren't always bad because this one is good . Plus it doesn't matter what the cover looks like ! Have you ever heard the saying "don't judge a book by its cover? I guess not because you are judging this book by its cover ! I've read the book and I think iot's one of the best books I've ever read ! So what if Jo is pretty and glamourous . So what if it doesn't look like a tomboy read the book and it even says Jo's a tomboy in the book ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good book
This Portraits of Little Women book was not my absolute favorite but it was very good. It was about Jo March. Jo is a tomboy and doesn't like her great aunt but her parents make her visit her. Her aunt offers to adopt one of the girls and Jo decides to sacrfice herself.
