Eight Cousins (Eight Cousins, #1)
Louisa May Alcott
Rose Campbell, tired and ill, has come to live at "The Aunt Hill" after the death of her beloved father. Six aunts fussing and fretting over her are bad enough, but what is a quiet 13-year-old girl to do with seven boisterous boy cousins? It is the arrival of Uncle Alec that changes everything. Much to the horror of her aunts, Rose's forward-thinking uncle insists that the child get out of the parlor and into the sunshine. And with a little courage and lots of adventures with her mischievous but loving cousins, Rose begins to bloom. Written by the beloved author of Little Women, Eight Cousins is a masterpiece of children's literature. This endearing novel offers readers of all ages an inspiring story about growing up, making friends, and facing life with strength and kindness.

Louisa May Alcott is, by far, my favorite author! I fell in love with Little Women when I was 13 but no one ever told me she had written any other books. Now, eight years later, I have discovered Ms. Alcott's other works. 'Eight Cousins' is the first book I have read of hers beyond Little Women, and I have to say that I absolutely love it! The characters were delightful and the setting was very interesting. As I was reading, I kept imagining myself reading this book with my future children.
