Little Men

Resumen del libro

'We always allow one pillow-fight Saturday night'. Did you ever wonder what happened to Jo March from Little Women? She grew up, of course, and followed her dream to become a writer. In addition, she opened a school, home to her two children and twelve other boys.

There's accident-prone Tommy, bookish Demi, and greedy Stuffy. Into this large, unusual family arrives Nat - a skinny, nervous orphan boy with no schooling, just a fearless talent for the violin. Amid all the scrapes and japes of twelve rambunctious boys, can little Nat find his place at Plumfield? This book includes exclusive material.

In the 'Backstory' you can find out what inspired the author and test your knowledge of Jo's enormous family.

You can discover timeless favourites from The Jungle Book and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to modern classics such as The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
