With two sons of her own, and twelve rescued orphan boys filling the informal school at Plumfield, Jo March—now Jo Bhaer—couldn't be happier.

Despite the warm and affectionate help of the whole March family, boys have a habit of getting into scrapes, and there are plenty of troubles and adventures in store.

The characters from Little Women grow up and begin new adventures at Plumfield, a progressive school founded by Jo and her husband, Professor Bhaer. This story follows the adventures of Jo March and her husband as they try to make their school for boys a happy, comfortable, and stimulating place.
