Book Description
Life with seven boy cousins isn't quite what Rose expected. Left an orphan after her father's death, Rose Campbell is sent to live at the "Aunt Hill" with her six aunts and seven rowdy boy cousins. For someone who is used to a girl's boarding school, it all seems pretty overwhelming. Her guardian, Uncle Alec, makes her eat healthy things like oatmeal, and even tries to get her to give up her pretty dresses for drab, sensible clothes. Will Rose ever get used to her uncle's crazy notions and all her noisy relatives? Complete and unabridged.

Book Description
Eight Cousins was published in 1875 and it is one of the few novels, if not the only one, where Alcott concentrates on one character. The protagonist of Eight Cousins is Rose Campbell. Some of Alcott’s feminist ideals come through in Eight Cousins, as they do to some degree in all her novels. Rose is allowed to choose clothing that is healthier and less restrictive than the typical Victorian garb for girls and women. Alcott also has Rose learn a skill – albeit one that is traditional for women – housekeeping. She learns how to perform domestic chores with skill and efficiency. Rose is transformed from a timid orphan girl to an educated competent young woman in the course of one year. This annotated edition includes a biography and critical essay.

Book Description
Rose Campbell has been orphaned and must go live with her uncle, but luckily, she is now near numerous cousins and aunts to help her through this difficult time! Privileged Rose Campbell is a young girl of Scottish descent who is barely 13 when she becomes orphaned and has to live with her Uncle Alec while adjusting to life without her dear father and a mother she never knew. Click here to see the rest of this review When Rose arrives in Boston where Uncle Alec lives, though, he is not there to greet her due to his busy life as a doctor who is often away at sea. Instead, her Aunt Plenty welcomes her but spoils her with strong coffee for breakfast, pills for her supposed anxiety, and too much coddling. Although much family, including numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins are nearby, at first, Rose's only entertainment are her interactions with the housemaid, Phoebe, who is also an orphan. The girls happen upon one another in the great mansion when Rose hears Phoebe's great talent for singing as the young maid goes about her work. Despite the fact that Phoebe is older than Rose by a few years, Rose tutors the girl and teaches her to read and write. When Uncle Alec finally arrives, he goes against Aunt Plenty and the other Campbell women by allowing Rose to dress simply, stop taking her daily pills, begin eating hearty meals that don't include coffee and its ensuing headaches, and start to exercise daily.
