Jack And JillLouisa May Alcott "Clear the lulla!" was the general cry on a bright December afternoon, when all the boys and girls of Harmony Village were out enjoying the first good snow of the season. Up and down three long coasts they went as fast as legs and sleds could carry them. One smooth path led into the meadow, and here the little folk congregated; one swept across the pond, where skaters were darting about like water-bugs; and the third, from the very top of the steep hill, ended abruptly at a rail fence on the high bank above the road. There was a group of lads and lasses sitting or leaning on this fence to rest after an exciting race, and, as they reposed, they amused themselves with criticising their mates, still absorbed in this most delightful of out-door sports.

"4.5/5 ⭐️ This was one I loved to read when I was younger, and it was so sweet to return to! I was trying to explain the story to someone and honestly was at a loss because there isn’t much in terms of plot - it’s just a group of friends over the course of a year, and the day to day of the young people. It’s kind of ridiculous that something so mundane can be so fascinating, but I was still eating it up. All the kids were so likable but realistic and relatable, and I loved the growth in all of them throughout the year. Not all aspects of it held up perfectly, and it was a bit preachy at times, but I didn’t really mind it as the lessons the kids were learning were good ones and mostly fit into the story. I really loved returning to this book again - I just need to read more childhood faves and classics because this was so fun!"
