The final novel chronicling the adventures and misadventures of the March family, Jo's Boys is entertaining, surprising, and an overall joy to listen to.

Set ten years after Little Men, Jo's Boys revisits Plumfield, the New England school still presided over by Jo and her husband, Professor Bhaer. Jo's Boys-including sailor Emil, promising musician Nat, and rebellious Dan-are grown. Jo, herself, remains at the center of this tale, holding her boys fast through shipwreck and storm, disappointment... and even murder.
