Reviews
Excellent reading by all
Lynette C.
Louisa May Alcott got quite a bit of preachiness into this one. word is that she disliked doing that, but was compelled to do so by her publishers. If you can get past that, the nook is full of fun youth antics, and the dramatic readers all did a fantastic job.
Loved this!
TJ
Great acting! Fun for the whole family!
