Louisa is a great biography that can be read quickly. Yona McDonough tells the life story of the author of the classic book Little Women, Louisa May Alcott. It provides insight into Louisa's stories as much of them were inspired by true life events. It also tells about the struggles faced by women of the time period and the adversity and challenges her family faced to make ends meet. The illustrations are done beautifully by Bethanne Anderson. (grades 4-6)
