Eight Cousins (1875) is a happy story about a sad girl, thirteen-year-old Rose Campbell. Orphaned and weak, Rose is on the verge of tears in the book’s first glimpse. She is a low-spirited butterfly, as author Louisa May Alcott describes her. But Rose has big surprises coming – for one, the appearance of her seven boy cousins of all ages, all sizes. Another is the supposed boy-hater’s discovery of how much she likes this flock of tall lads, and even their bagpipes. The arrival of Rose’s unconventional guardian, Uncle Alec, sets the stage for a summer of fun and learning. Rose’s birthday signals a new beginning for the once-pensive little girl – and one more surprise: that Rose might feel more than friendship for one boy in particular.
