Best friends Jack and Janey (nicknamed Jill) are inseparable. But when they are in a terrible sledding accident, their different recovery experiences test their friendship. Jack mends quickly, while Jill’s injuries are more serious. When her damaged spine keeps her bedridden for months, friends and family do their best to make time pass more quickly with songs, elaborately costumed tableaus, and frequent visits. When jealousy, unmet dreams, and growing pains challenge the friends, Jack and Jill ultimately grow stronger and closer together in this classic coming-of-age tale. 352 pages, softcover. Ages 8 and up.

Author Bio

▼▲

Louisa May Alcott was born in 1832 in Germantown, Pennsylvania. She is best known for Little Women (1868), which is loosely based on her own life and proved to be one of the most popular children’s books ever written. Three sequels followed: Good Wives (1869), Little Men (1871), and Jo’s Boys (1886). Alcott was the daughter of the famous transcendentalist Bronson Alcott and was friend of Emerson and Thoreau. In addition to writing, she worked as a teacher, governess, and Civil War nurse, as well as being an advocate of abolition, women’s rights, and temperance. She died in 1888 and is buried in Sleepy Hollow cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts.
