Schoolyard rivalries. Baking disasters. Puffed sleeves. Explore the violet vales and glorious green of Avonlea in this spirited adaptation. The spirit of Anne is alive and well in Mariah Marsden's crisp adaptation, and it's a thrill to watch as the beloved orphan rushes headlong through Brenna Thummler's heavenly landscapes. Together Marsden and Thummler conjure all the magic and beauty of Green Gables. Like Anne herself, you won't want to leave. -- Brian Selznick, author/illustrator of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" and "The Marvels" The magic of L.M. Montgomery's treasured classic is reimagined in a whimsically-illustrated graphic novel adaptation perfect for newcomers and kindred spirits alike. When Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan who can help manage their family farm, they have no idea what delightful trouble awaits them. With flame-red hair and an unstoppable imagination, 11-year-old Anne Shirley takes Green Gables by storm. Anne's misadventures bring a little romance to the lives of everyone she meets: her bosom friend, Diana Barry; the town gossip, Mrs. Lynde; and that infuriating tease, Gilbert Blythe. From triumphs and thrills to the depths of despair, Anne turns each everyday moment into something extraordinary.

"Lovely graphic novel rendition of the charming book, Anne of Green Gables. Somehow I missed this story as a young girl, but I fell in love with the story and the character of Anne when I saw a musical version of Anne of Green Gables at Goodspeed Opera House in Connecticut. The graphic novel is the selection for my book club with my 9yo grandniece. Such a lovely story of a young girl feeling like an outsider and gradually being embraced by and embracing the kind people and community around her."
"This was such a cute story and an easy read! I loved all the graphics - the story was portrayed so well. I read this is 2 sittings (only because I HAD to stop in the middle and get some work done, otherwise it would easily have been one sitting). "
