Little women
I read an interesting novel — ‘Little women’ by Louisa May Alcott. It’s my first English book. I left all my previous books, but I’m competing in the reading challenge now.
The main characters of this novel are March sisters: Margaret, Jo, Beth and Amy. They are so different, but very close to each other.
Margaret is the oldest. She wants to have silk dresses, to go to the theatre, to be in the high society. But her sadness is family’s poverty. Jo likes books. She is her aunt’s companion, and read books when the old lady had sleep. Beth loves her invalid dolls and helps their servant Hannah. Amy is a little cute girl: she creates new long words.

Little Women // book titile - probably good to capitalise.

This is good work.
* There are some patterns with position of adjectives in English,. and this would be more normal. "A little, cute girl" {with comma} would put extra emphasis on the "cute".) https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/about-adjectives-and-adverbs/adjectives-order
