Eight Cousins

Louisa May Alcott wrote "Eight Cousins" seven years after "Little Women". Both beloved literature classics are perfect for the Common Core Classroom and give insight into life during a simplier time. A tale of fun and adventure...with a side of morality..."Eight Cousins" is an excellent read. "Eight Cousins" is the story of a lonely orphan, Rose Campbell, who resides with her maiden great aunts -- who are the matriarchs of her wealthy Boston family. Rose's true guardian is her Uncle Alex -- who returns from overseees to resume her care -- and enables Rose to fully bloom. His theories are unconventional, but Rose becomes happier, healthier and ready for adventure thanks to him, her seven boy cousins and her many other uncles and aunts.
