Bre Indigo.
This graphic-novel adaptation updates Little Women in setting and in many story elements, with welcome diversity in ethnicity and sexuality among the March family members and their friends (though some morals--admittedly in March family fashion--are delivered didactically). Varied panels interspersed with journal entries, and emails to Dad stationed overseas, make for an inviting package.
