I love Little Women and enjoyed this retelling about four sisters who live with their parents and practice witchcraft. 
This was quite enjoyable.

Little Witches a cute little graphic novel for middle grade. I enjoyed the illustrations and the story was fun and simple. Good read for ages 8-12.

Adorable and charming. I love classic books turned in to graphic novels, but this book was something else. 
I cannot wait to get my physical copy!

I don't think I would have enjoyed it at all if I didn't already know the story of Little Women, so I do recommend reading Little Women first.
The magic aspect was what captivated me at the beginning but I don't think it was explained well enough and it only became useful at the end of the story, which is bummer.
The artwork was good and I appreciated the different colour pallet for indoors and outdoors.

I adore the graphics and I genuinely enjoy the graphic novel but I wish there were a few more pages just so that the ending had a smoother finish. Also, if the magic could have been sprinkled in a little more except for relaying on it mostly at the end it would have also been nice. Still, a fun read and I can see myself recommending it.

I love Little Women and have often enjoyed different adaptations and retellings of this classic coming-of-age story. With the fantastical spin and the graphic novel format, I was excited for this new journey I would be able to take with the March sisters. 

I was surprised to see that, given this is a fantastical reimagining of the story, Little Witches remains very true to much of the original plot for the first handfull of scenes. It only starts to deviate from the source material when the girls are faced with an evil magic spreading through there town, and they must find the source of it before it is too late. 

The art style was very pleasing to the eye, and I particularly liked that each of the sisters had distinctive features and characteristics, making it easy to tell them apart. What could have been a confusing game of who’s who was avoided through a thorough depiction of each sister as seperate people, instead of a carbon copy with a different color dress. 

This is the perfect graphic novel for a young teen/junior high student who has an appreciation for the original tale, or even one who just enjoys stories of witchcraft. This would be a particularly fun read during October in anticipation of Halloween, given the moderate spooky nature.

This was a fun read! I never thought I would enjoy this. If you have read Little Women, this is a retelling with a twist. It's about four sisters who live with their parents and they all practice witchcraft. It's a charming premise hitting important beats from the original story. I just love the mystical vibe of this story and I will definitely recommend this to anyone who loves retellings with a touch of magic.

I was unable to read this graphic novel before it was archived, therefore I will not be reviewing it even though I was excited for it.

I liked that it was a retelling of Little Women. Espeically with all of those going around right now, it is a great time for it. I don't think the witches really fit. I did like the story, it is a classic. I just wish the magic was a bit more fleshed out.

This was an interesting spin on Little Women. Kind of fun for younger readers. It would work for kids more interested in a supernatural type of book, and the heart of the story remains.

I received an e-arc from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. I’m somewhat familiar with the story I haven’t actually read the full story. But I love the spin of the family being witches and then the little romance between a witch and witch hunter. I didn’t really guess the villain but there wasn’t a lot of options. Though I felt Jo being left out of all the magic stuff was kind of mean.

A cute easy read that will certainly make you reread Little Women and wish there’s magic and witches in there (just in time for the movie remake, right?). I didn’t remember much of the original Little Witches, except that I liked Jo the best, probably because she reminded me of George from the Famous Five series by Enid Blyton (also my favourite character. Timmy and Julian were like tied for second place).

I’ve become more used to reading Comics and Graphic Novels, and while I am (most definitely) not gifted in drawing or you know, anything visual creative stuff (writing’s more my speed, obviously), I can and do definitely tell and admire when the graphics are good! And this is the case with Little Witches – they’re so cute and like soft? Which doesn’t really make sense – but it’s like their faces (facial features etc) are softly drawn.

I really liked all the characters. I’m always up for siblings in novels and I was happy to see that they looked and felt like siblings – their banter, conversations. Even if they got into some fights and arguments along the way (like listen, which siblings don’t? My sister and I used to fight over the remote or even who was doing the dishes). But in the end, when it really matters, they come together and help each other and that’s what I love about sibling interaction! That they still love each other very much, even though they annoy each other and fight and all that; when it comes down to it, when one sibling needs the help, the other will be there to do whatever they can.

I already spoke about Jo being my favourite character but Laurie was definitely my second-favourite! I loved him. Everything about him was great, his personality and I liked what a strong character he was. I liked his grandfather too.

And then when the magic played into the story I was even more excited. I enjoyed how the magic showed different genres – like you could be stronger in one area in magic than other. Which is always a thing I loved because as cool as it may be, it’s actually more realistic for a character with magic to not be top in all categories or areas of magic. I liked how they showed the sisters practicing the different areas of magic and what they could do.

The plot was pretty interesting. It is a usual thing with magic – if you have magic, wield magic etc, there’s bound to be bad/dark magic – because it’s a common theme in books where magic is, or even in fantasy books where the good beat the bad. And I liked how they showed it in here.

If you like Little Women and like magic, seriously go pick this up! It is a charming reimagining of the classic by Louisa May Alcott where the sisters are witches and magic exists.

I loved discovering Leigh Dragoon's style in this graphic novel. It is the first book of this author I read but also the first introduction to the original story as I've never had the chance to read the original material yet. But this graphic novel with it's poignant characters and beautiful artwork definitely made me want to read Little Women now.

This graphic novel was so cute! The story of Little Women is very close to my heart and I love stories with witches, so I really enjoyed Little Witches. 

The art style was simple with beautiful coloring that somehow fit the characters and story so well. I thought it was interesting how the author incorporated the magic into a well known story, and it kind of makes me wish they were turning this into a movie too. 
I would definitely read a continuance of this or something similar by this author.

A reimagining of Little Women with witches!  Yes, please.  This was an interesting story and I loved the characters and the artwork.  I love stories involving magic and witches so I knew I was going to like this graphic novel.  Definitely a great read, especially for the fall season.

I began this book with excitement, as I do llllloooooovvvveee Little Women, truly enjoy comics, and also relish a good retelling of favorite books. This seemed to fit all three categories. But in spite of the fact that it was a 140ish page comic, I felt stuck somewhere in the middle for a bit. Oh:( And then I was off for my son’s week-long summer camp.

After my wooded sojourn, I decided to give the book another try and continued on. This time, I sped through right to the end and while a bit predictable (for me), I had a good time reading it.

I loved that the book effortlessly retains the feel of the original classic while seamlessly combining elements of fantasy and magic; and topping it off with beautiful artwork.

Disclaimer: Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC of this book – Little Witches. The above is my honest opinion of the book.

In Summary:
A book that graphic comic readers who enjoy adaptations/retellings will definitely enjoy.

I enjoyed this graphic novel that reimagines Little Women as a story about a family of witches living in Concord, Massachusetts, during the Civil War. If you’re familiar with Little Women, then you’ll recognize the characters and some of the events from Part 1 of the novel, but this story also stands on its own.

I appreciate how magic was worked into this story, with each of the witches having their own specialty. It was fun to see such well-known characters presented in a way that’s fresh yet familiar. This story has an interesting mystery, but it remains focused on the relationships between the sisters.

Leigh Dragoon’s art style was a bit more cartoonish than I typically prefer, but I think it worked well for this story. The illustrations often carry the story even more than the text, and some of the facial expressions were hilarious. 

I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys sweet fantasies, coming of age stories, and graphic novelizations of classic literature. It’s a very sweet, clean story that should be enjoyable for a wide audience.

Thank you to Oni Press for providing me with an ARC through NetGalley that I volunteered to 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.
