Orphaned Rose Campbell finds it difficult to fit in when she goes to live with her six aunts and seven mischievous boy cousins.

From the time it was written back in 1868, Louisa May Alcott's Little Women has enchanted young readers, who identify with the realistic and lively personalities of the four March sisters. Growing up as the Civil War rages, Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy face the challenges and difficulties of life--and, sometimes, each other. Francesca Rossi's wonderful illustrations are perfect for the contemporary audience.

When seventeen-year-old Ember, a young witch living in the quiet New England town of Hallowell, crosses into the Otherworld, Jack the gatekeeper sets out to find her before the supernatural and mortal worlds descend into chaos.

"The March sisters have grown from little women to young adults. Now that the Civil War has ended, Meg is getting married, Beth still struggles to regain her health, and Jo and Amy are pursing their dreams, encountering love and heartbreak along the way"--

The Maitlands are too nice and harmless as ghosts and all their efforts to scare the Deetz's away are unsuccessful. They decide to call to Beetlejuice, a people-exorcizing ghost, for help.
