《书架认知》杂志的儿童板块编辑珍妮弗M布朗称：“童年时读这本书，这是小王子离开家乡，踏入一个充满希望和愿景的世界的故事。长大些再看，我们从飞行员的视角重新感受了这个故事，有了更伤感却也更丰富的体会，还因为人生旅途中并非孤身一人而欣慰感动。”（来源：霍顿米夫林哈考特出版社）
5. Louisa May Alcott, Little Women (1868)
《小妇人》（1868年），路易莎梅奥尔科特著

The story of the four March sisters as they pass from childhood innocence to young adulthood has endured from one generation to the next, never losing its power to enthrall. The autobiographical novel speeds along, thanks to crisp, realistic dialogue, enduring characters and keen insights into family dynamics.
马奇家四姐妹从纯真的童年到初长成人的故事代代流传，经久不衰。这本自传体小说对话鲜活真实、人物形象深入人心、对家庭动态的洞察敏锐，情节紧凑、引人入胜。
"Meg was Amy"s confidant and monitor, and by some strange attraction of opposites Jo was gentle Beth"s," Alcott writes. (Jo was the character most like its author.)"One name will explain my adoration for Little Women: Jo March!" says Booklist senior editor Donna Seaman. "What book-loving young reader doesn"t revere Louisa May Alcott"s intrepid, ink-stained hero? Of course, Alcott was also one brilliant and gripping storyteller with sharp and knowing opinions. So astutely constructed is this novel, it sustains repeated readings." (Credit: Transatlantic Press)
