Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy brims with love, hope, and empowerment. Rey Terciero and Bre Indigo share a modern retelling of Louisa May Alcott's classic tale that honors the source material as well as provides fresh interpretations of each of the March sisters. The artwork is colorful and entertaining and further emphasizes the hopeful attitudes of the family.
Even with its light appearance, the graphic novel isn't afraid to dive deep into difficult topics. The novel conveys how impacted the March sisters are by their family's poverty in terms of their own mental health, their relationships with friends and classmates, and their struggles against the barriers that prevent them from achieving their dreams. Yet, in spite of their circumstances, throughout the course of the story, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy learn to be confident and proud of who they are. Additionally, the novel tackles illness, war, homophobia, sexism, and bullying just as honestly as it does classism. Although pain is rife in this tale, Terciero and Indigo slide hope and affection into each panel.
Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy is a must read for all Little Women fans as well as those who need to be reminded of the love and possibility present in difficult times. The characters, although familiar, have lovable modern twists and the artwork is a joy to view. I highly recommend this graphic novel.
