"Christmas wont be Christmas without any corpses."
The dear, sweet March sisters are back, and Marmee has told them to be good little women. Good little vampire women, that is. That's right: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy have grown up since you last read their tale, and now they have (much) longer lives and (much) more ravenous appetites.
Marmee has taught them well, and so they live by an unprecedented moral code of abstinence . . . from human blood. Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy must learn to get along with one another, help make society a better place, and avoid the vampire hunters who pose a constant threat to their existence.

Through sisterly squabbles, happy times and sad, their four lives follow very different paths, and they discover that growing up is sometimes very hard to do...
Jo March, the irrepressible tomboy in Little Women, has grown up and married her professor to become Jo Bhaer. Together the Bhaers have established Plumfield-a warm-hearted, informal school where lessons are taught with a dose of laughter. When Nat, a young orphan joins the happy household at Plumfield, he can't believe his good fortune. Each day is filled with studying and fun-the boys even enjoy Saturday-night pillow fights.
But when Nat gets caught stretching the truth, he discovers there is more to learn in his new home than games and schoolwork. Filled with real-life characters and situations, Louisa M. Alcott's spirited classic has touched the hearts and minds of readers from generation to generation. Barbara Caruso's dramatic narration transports young adults to the late 1800s when life was simpler but was still packed with plenty of adventures.
