" I missed reading this sequel to Little Women when I was younger. I don't think I would have appreciated it then as much as I do now, as a parent. I thought it was such a wonderful,innocent and uplifting story. Jo and Fritz deliver a school for boys from homeless, poor or broken backgrounds. They vow to teach young and restless boys to be noble and worthy gentlemen. They do this through love, patience and many experiments. Their school/home for boys is a little microcosm for better parenting. I even grew to admire Fritz, even though, as a young reader, I never quite got over the fact that Jo wouldn't marry Laurie and chose the professor instead. I can see why a little better now, and Laurie even makes a few befitting appearances in this summer at Plumfield. "
