The Revelation of Louisa May: A Novel

A young adult historical mystery that gives “a tantalizing glimpse of the real Louisa May Alcott’s life.” —Kirkus Reviews Louisa May Alcott can't believe it—her mother is leaving for the summer to earn money for the family and Louisa is to be in charge of the household. How will she find the time to write her stories, much less have any adventures of her own? But before long, Louisa finds herself juggling her temperamental father, a mysterious murder, a fugitive slave seeking refuge along the Underground Railroad, and blossoming love. Intertwining fact, fiction, and quotes from Little Women, Michaela MacColl has crafted another spunky heroine whose story will keep readers turning pages until the very end. “A satisfying, thought-provoking read.” —Publishers Weekly “Reads like a contemporary young adult novel that will draw in a whole new audience.” —School Library Connection, starred review
