Mini Classics. Jo’s Boys

Classics

One of the most beloved classics in a simpler and shorter version.

Jo March is no longer the fiery little girl she once was. Now she’s a writer, a mother, and the director of a very special school. In her big country house, she welcomes boys and girls of all kinds—curious, mischievous, shy, brave.
Between garden chores, theatre rehearsals, forest walks, and occasional trouble, her students learn something new every day: about friendship, kindness, courage… and about becoming who they truly are.

A fresh and child-friendly retelling of Alcott’s classic sequel to Little Women.
Adapted by bestselling Italian author Davide Morosinotto.
