Luisa is a happy, hipper, crazy, sweet and intelligent girl that makes his life a book to read about, its so normal and special his life, how she was raise without her father, but she stills makes it, and made me realize how important is everything that you go thought so you can finally become in what you want, she had a normal childhood like me, playing with her sisters with the ball, feeling jealous about her little sister, and having a big sister the only difference is that in mi case they are bothers, she even moved house once too many times, I moved only once, but it was enough to make me feel bad, but she even make a good thing about it, one time for the day that she saw his father after a wile, she wrote a novel, and she presented it in front of the family, with her sisters, and she felt so good about it that since then she knew that she wanted to file her life and her family¿s life with stories. One thin that I really liked about Louisa is that we have many things in common, I might not be a good writher like her, but I like writing as a way to express my feelings, that does not mean that I do not express my feelings but I rather write that cry, and other thing that I liked about Louisa is that she was a very hipper and happy little girl, and that is how I used to be, playing always around with my brothers, giving problems to my mom to make me come down. I do not remember something that I did not like, as I just said, the book for me was rally good, was interesting, maybe the only thing, now that I think it more carefully, that bothered me is that I could not understand some pages because talks about the women that wrote about the little women, so sometimes refer as the little women and stuff like that, I would suggest you as a reader of this book, to have and idea of ¿Little Woman¿ so you can understand this book better, because is a good reading.

I was excited to come upon this book, as Little Women is my favorite. However, Invincible Louisa reads like a very long, exhausting encyclopedia entry. There is absolutely no action or even dialog. The entire book is written in third person. It is a chore to get through. I am very surprised that it won a Newberry.

This was a very good book. It was also kind of boring. If the author would have broken it down into more chapters it would have probably seemed less exausting.
