Little Witches
Little Witches: Magic in Concord | Leigh Dragoon
3 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
A charming and magical graphic novel adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's LITTLE WOMEN! Jo, Beth, Amy, and Meg March are four sisters living in Concord with their parents—Father, who's tending to soldiers fighting in the Civil War, and Marmee, who teaches the girls simple but effective witchcraft. The Marches have to keep their craft quiet, as there are many in Concord who see magic in a bad light—especially after things have begun disappearing. When Mr. Laurence, a witchfinder, moves in next door to investigate the missing objects, the girls fear for their livelihood. But he turns out to be a kind old man, and his grandson, Laurie, quickly befriends the Marches. As the cold winter blusters on, the girls continue their education, even as missing objects soon turn into missing people. Things take a turn for the worse when Jo and Laurie try investigating on their own, and a dangerous storm takes hold of Concord. There's powerful magic at play here—stronger than anything the Marches, or even Laurie, has ever seen before. Can they hope to defeat it? Or has the magic already become too strong for them to fight against?

A graphic novel loosely based on Little Women (or so I'm told, I'm the local heathen who hasn't read Little Women), Little Witches follows the March sisters during a few weeks where mysterious things are happening in their little town and they're trying to solve the ~mystery~ of it all. It's a fun little book, but very predictable and it felt kind of flat. The art was nice, though!

4/5

This is a very cute, fantasy retelling of Little Women where every member of the March family is a witch. It's been years since I've read Little Women, but there were a number of scenes in the graphic novel that I recall something similar in the novel. I thought the art in particular was very cute.

It could have been a little longer to better explain the magic system and to wrap things up in the end, but it's still a fun story. #netgalley
