Synopsis

Emily is sick and tired of being a middle sister. So when she gets an assignment to describe what she'd change about a classic novel, Emily pounces on Little Women. After all, if she can't change things in her own family, maybe she can bring a little justice to the March sisters. (Kill off Beth? Have cute Laurie wind up with Amy instead of Jo? What was Louisa May Alcott thinking?!) But when Emily gets mysteriously transported into the 1860s world of the book, she discovers that righting fictional wrongs won't be easy. And after being immersed in a time and place so different from her own, it may be Emily-not the four March sisters-who undergoes the most surprising change of all. Lauren Baratz-Logsted's winning confection will appeal to fans of Little Women as well as anyone who enjoys a modern twist on an old favorite.

Review:

"a consistently entertaining read that delivers a genuinely original heroine and frequently hilarious satire." ~ Kirkus Reviews

"I'm a hyperventilating, cheering, hand-flapping clapping, total fangirl of Lauren Baratz-Logsted. I fell in love with her Gothic suspense The Twin's Daughter, adored her girl-pretending-to-be-a-boy boarding school romp The Education of Bet, and I had a laugh-out-loud blast with her latest...Lauren is an absolute genius!" ~ Small Review

"This would be a perfect offering for the Mother-Daughter Book Club crowd." ~ Kiss the Book

"Lauren Baratz-Logsted [is] a wonderfully imaginative and bright writer... LITTLE WOMEN AND ME is a fun, breezy book that makes you think and laugh at the same time. And any book that will encourage kids to go back and take a good long hard look at classic American literature is a wonderful book indeed." ~ Jana Siciliano, Bookreporter.com
