Louisa May Alcott not quite at her best, but worthwhile, nostalgic and sweet anyhow. A dire message about an ailing family member sends 'ma' and 'pa' to visit the old home place fearing the worst. It's up to the young children to save Thanksgiving and make sure dinner gets made on time.

Enjoyable and quick to read.
