Alcott, Louisa May "Eight Cousins" or "The Aunt-Hill" - 1876
Same as in "Little Women", Louisa May Alcott describes an unorthodox family, a family that tries to raise their children more freely than the conventions of their times prescribed it. In this case, it is the orphan Rose that is first taken in by some aunts and then by the family of her guardian. Charming people, a nice read. The moral side is emphasized quite clearly but it still is a good book about children growing up at a different time for ours and therefore deserves to be read by children and adults alike. If you liked "Little Women", you should certainly try this novel.
