They\u2019re accompanied by \u201ca pleasing illustration composed of a lunatic, a corpse, a villain and a viper.\u201d Bhaer throws the paper into the fire, saying its contents are \u201cnot for children to see, nor young people to read. \u2026 I haf no patience with those who make this harm.\u201dSo Professor Bhaer probably wouldn\u2019t approve of M\u00e1ire Roche\u2019s middle-grade fantasy, LITTLE MONSTERS (Aladdin, 288 pp., $17.99, ages 8 to 12), due out in August, in which the four March sisters, now contemporary kids living in Salem, lead double lives as, respectively, a vampire, a werewolf, a bat-winged creature and a sea monster. (Indeed, \u201cFarmer Bhaer\u201d becomes the sisters\u2019\/monsters\u2019 antagonist after a bunch of his chickens go missing.)And if he didn\u2019t like the kind of lurid story Jo was turning out for the Volcano tabloid, chances are Bhaer also wouldn\u2019t have much use for the recently published BETH IS DEAD (Sarah Barley\/Simon & Schuster, 400 pp., $19.99, ages 12 and up), in which Katie Bernet reimagines \u201cLittle Women\u201d as a young-adult murder mystery. It would be his loss.ImageImageIn a way, it\u2019s strange that it\u2019s taken this long for \u201cLittle Women\u201d to fully break out, the way Jane Austen did hundreds of years after her death with novelty titles like \u201cPride and Prejudice and Zombies\u201d and the historical pastiche \u201cDeath Comes to Pemberley\u201d (just for starters). After all, Alcott\u2019s coming-of-age novel has been adapted so often that at this point it\u2019s reached a certain American cultural saturation: Most of us know the formula of four girls, a stern but loving mother, a neighbor boy, a sad death.And the characters of the sisters lend themselves to easy archetypes. Even in supernatural form, Roche maintains Alcott\u2019s basic dynamic \u2014 responsible Meg, adventurous Jo, kind Beth and headstrong Amy \u2014 and the essential nature of their relationship provides the scaffolding for whimsical high jinks. It\u2019s a testament to the good bones of Alcott\u2019s text, and the enduring appeal of her story.\u201cBeth Is Dead\u201d is an altogether more meta undertaking. The March sisters live in present-day Concord, Mass., where their father, a novelist, has recently been canceled for writing a kind of autofictional blockbuster called \u201cLittle Women\u201d in which, critics charge, he\u2019s exploited his daughters\u2019 stories \u2014 and, worse, killed off Beth, who is not yet actually dead. He\u2019s gone away, allegedly to protect the family from scrutiny, leaving their E.R.-nurse mother in charge.When the gentle, musical Beth is, in fact, unalived after a New Year\u2019s Eve party at the rich girl Sallie Gardiner\u2019s mansion (no wasting illness here), Meg, Jo, Amy and their neighbor and sometimes love interest Laurie turn sleuths, and secrets and lies are exposed.Beth Is Dead Save to your reading list:Want to readHave readBernet chooses to highlight the darkest sides of Alcott\u2019s characters. Meg is smart and loving, yes, but can be materialistic and is ashamed of her relationship with the less ambitious John Brooke, portrayed here as something of a loser. A Harvard student, she resents her more privileged classmates. Jo, a senior at Concord High and a thirsty social media star, can be a ruthless careerist, her temper almost uncontrollable. As for Amy: \u201cI\u2019ve endured enough judgment from the people who read \u2018Little Women,\u2019 who called me the party girl, the mess.\u201dBeth, who\u2019s been offered a shot at the prestigious Plumfield School for the Arts by the cool New York career woman Aunt March, is self-effacing but frustrated. \u201cI know I don\u2019t have main-character energy like Jo,\u201d she admits. \u201cI need to prove that I\u2019m more than the girl who dies at the end of the book.\u201dBernet\u2019s March girls get drunk, spend time on their devices, hook up with boys and curse. At one point, Beth calls Amy \u201ca selfish bitch,\u201d which fans of \u201cLittle Women\u201d may not recall from the original text. But the book still reads as a love letter to Alcott, and a reckoning with the fact that these characters, based on actual people, have been elevated to a strange celebrity that invites parasocial bonds with ravenous fans.Both books are packed with Easter eggs \u2014 in \u201cLittle Monsters,\u201d the Moffats and Mr. Laurence cameo; in \u201cBeth Is Dead,\u201d Henry Hummel works at \u201cLotty\u2019s Diner\u201d and Fred Vaughn is a cheesy, predatory British artist who blasts EDM in his studio. (Meg even wields a curling iron in a pre-party FaceTime.)Beth, whether a literal winged angel or a child martyr, has always been the least approachable of the characters. In the original book, she is saintly and sweet, exposing herself to serious illness in her eagerness to do good and saying mortifying things like, \u201cLittle birds in their nests agree,\u201d when her more human sisters bicker. But however unrealistic she might seem, Alcott\u2019s own younger sister Elizabeth \u201cLizzie\u201d Sewall Alcott really was known even in life as \u201cthe angel in the house,\u201d did contract an illness while helping a poor family and died at the age of 22. Can you blame a grieving sister for idealizing her?In \u201cLittle Women,\u201d it\u2019s Beth\u2019s loss that destabilizes the entire family, serving as a catalyst for several major life decisions. And for generations of children, it was among the first deaths we experienced \u2014 especially of a young person, whom we had seen grow up \u2014 and a foundational sadness.Little Women Save to your reading list:Want to readHave readIn the metaverse of \u201cBeth Is Dead,\u201d there\u2019s a Beth hive \u2014 a contingent of fans and readers obsessed with getting her justice \u2014 but even this feels alienating to the sisters; it has nothing to do with Beth, the real person. Ultimately, the March sisters discover answers by going back to the text. \u201cCritics have called her a flat character,\u201d says Meg, after finally reading her father\u2019s novel, \u201cbut she\u2019s more complicated on the page than everyone likes to believe.\u201dIn real life, Alcott was equally put off by readers\u2019 demands after the first half of \u201cLittle Women\u201d came out, writing that she wouldn\u2019t \u201cmarry Jo to Laurie to please anyone\u201d (although she didn\u2019t keep her the \u201cliterary spinster\u201d that would have better reflected her own circumstances). Bhaer might not have liked it, but Alcott got her start writing thrillers as tightly plotted as \u201cLittle Monsters\u201d and \u201cBeth Is Dead\u201d \u2014 check out \u201cA Whisper in the Dark\u201d and \u201cThe Abbot\u2019s Ghost.\u201d As Jo puts it, \u201cI like good strong words that mean something.\u201dA version of this article appears in print on Feb. 15, 2026, Page 14 of the Sunday Book Review with the headline: Are the March Sisters OK?.
