review:
'Little Witches' by Leigh Dragoon is a retelling of 'Little Women' by Louisa May Alcott in graphic novel form.

Take a beloved book about 4 sisters. Make them all witches of different types. That's what this is. The March sisters live in Concord with their mother. Father is at war. Stern aunt helps them out grumpily. New neighbors move in and they appear to be witchhunters. Also, things start disappearing around town, like a cow, or a woman's husband. The young ladies decide to use their skills to solve the mystery.

It's a very charming adaptation and it works surprisingly well. Sometimes when things like this get merged, it can feel tacked on. Here the relationships feel just as real as they do in the original, and the magic use is worked right in to the story. I enjoyed reading this one.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
