I might need to start a list of books that made me cry while sitting at the desk. This would go on the list. All my love and tears for Queralt.

Morgan Joyner is 25% done with The Strangers (Greystone Secrets, #1)
This story isn't really on the side of the kid readers. Definitely feels like it was written by adult, lots of little implications about what a "good" kid would do

Other than the fact that I hadn't heard of the podcast this is based on, I feel like I'm in the perfect demographic for this.

This is already going up there with An Absolutely Remarkable Thing in terms of top-tier sci-fi that actually understands current tech and internet-speak.
The characters are SO strong. The grasp of transitions, whether from scene to scene or panel to panel, is FLAWLESS. There are jokes that happen in the gutter, that you have to infer, AND I LOVE IT

Morgan Joyner is starting Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy: A Modern Graphic Retelling of Little Women
The Mom character is disappointing me a bit. Maybe the author is trying to avoid portraying the perfect unattainably mother-figure, but they've gone too far in the direction in some moments. She over-reacts, threatening to ground the girls in moments when I would have preferred more empathy or concern (your kid looking up adult websites is a moment for a serious concern, not a punishment)

Also, the rich aunt saying that she doesn't trust online payments and only wants to pay by check, incredible

I'm softening my initial response. Some interesting modernization - the March family is a blended one. Certain characters are made more sympathetic, like Amy's teacher who catches her drawing in class and Meg's rich friend Kennedy. Also, pretty sure we're getting gay Jo in this, excellent news

This feels very one-to-one, so it's good if you want your child to read the original Little Women as much as possible. I was hoping for more of an adaptation though, so I'm a bit sad - the only interesting change so far is that Amy likes to draw monster comics.
Also, the language is still similar to the original. What teen in the 20th century casually uses the word "deluded"?

...meets Good Omens meets idk maybe Encanto.... I could go on. The point is that I never got into the story so it was incredibly easy to think of all the other stories that did this plot in a way that engaged me more
