Description

Jo March the tomboy heroine of Little Women has grown up! She returns in this beloved sequel as a young woman with a family of her own. Jo and her husband Professor Bhaer open their hearts (and their home) to educate and care for a handful of rowdy yet well-meaning youngsters.
Plumfield the school where the boys learn "how to help themselves and be useful men" has a spirited student body that includes — in addition to the Bhaers' two sons — Nat an orphaned street musician cold and frightened when he first appears at the Bhaers' door; business-minded Tommy; Dan a "wild boy" eventually tamed by love and kindness; and other endearing little mischief-makers.
Outside the classroom the boys rush headlong from one prank to another — from playing matador with the family cow to nearly setting the school afire with a smoldering cigar stub. But in the end they prove to have a positive effect on the lives of the entire Bhaer family. With tales ranging from tearful to cheerful this heartwarming unabridged classic promises young readers an exciting and fun-filled visit to nineteenth-century America.
