Anne of Green Gables, written by L.M. Montgomery
Publisher: Random House, Inc.
Pages: 297
Genre: Historical Fiction
Rating: Thumbs Up!!
This is the story of an imaginative 11 year old orphaned girl, Anne Shirley, who is eventually adopted by (older and unmarried) brother and sister, Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert. The siblings wanted a boy to help work the farm in Avonlea that they have on Prince Edward Island, but fall in love with Anne. The story goes on through the eyes of Anne and her trials faced in gaining family, neighbors, friendship, education and acceptance of herself.
I love this book for the ease of reading, the fun of the story and the off-the-wall imagination of the main character, Anne. This is a story that all can enjoy, especially those with red hair. For these reason it gains a "Thumbs Up!!" from me.
