  Another Great Book By Louisa May Alcott
Ella of Cayce, SC, 8/20/2016
One winter day Jack and Jill foolishly decide to sled down a dangerous slope and it ends terribly! The months following the incident are filled with many adventures that everybody will remember for years to come. For example: an exciting Christmas celebration, plays, May day baskets, and many more! It is a very fun book, and is not disappointing. If you are are a fan of "Little Women" and "Little Men," this book would be perfect for younger children who are not quite ready for the books stated above. It also has a lot of good virtues stuck in between all the fun. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to my friends.
