Summary: great for girls
Comment: Anne of Green Gables is about a skinny red haired girl who has both a short temper and a very colorful imagination. She really loves the little farmhouse but the Cuthberts might send her back to the orphanage because Matthew needed a boy about 11 or 12 to help him on the farm.

Sometimes her imagination gets her in trouble. For instance when Marilla asks her to get a pattern from Mrs. Barry she doesn't want to because she imagined the woods between the houses were haunted! The book tells about her life growing up in the 1930's. As she grows, she learns many lessons and meets many friends who help her to become Anne of Green Gables.

This book is wonderful. It is a great book for girls to read. I loved it because the character was funny, spunky, and could talk forever. She reminded me of my sister. Anne never gave up trying to reach her goals. She will keep you interested throughout the whole book!

Summary: A memorable classic that touches your heart!
Comment: This is one of the best books ever written and the credit goes to spirited Anne (make sure it's spelled with an "e"!) Shirley. It's not often you find such a charming heroine as Anne. ANNE OF GREEN GABLES is the first of a series on this lovable orphan, and it begins with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a respectable brother and sister, living at Green Gables. They are both growing old and need a boy to help out on the farm. But they got a talkative redhead girl instead. Before they can send her back to the orphanage, Anne has managed to win the hearts of Prince Edward Island with her wit and imagination. She seems to affect everyone around her - from busybody Mrs. Rachel Lynde to handsome Gilbert Blythe. And now, Green Gables will never be the same! . . .

It's not often you find such a spirited and lovable heroine as Anne. Captivating and captivatED, Anne is full of enthusiasm and fun, which gets her into all sorts of scrapes. This book is one that you are guaranteed to laugh over, cry over, and never want to put down! It is an ideal novel that you won't want to pass up! (Even if you don't read the rest of the Anne books, read this!)

Summary: If you like the movie...
Comment: After 12 years of meaning to read this book, I finally got around to it. This is one of my mom's favorites. I have always liked the movie so much that I never felt it necessary to read the book, but I'm so glad I finally did. The book is even funnier than the movie! The movie is pretty true to the story and where it varies it is still very true to the story's essence. The book is very entertaining and moving. It may require a hanky for some. I read several chapters outloud to my husband, who also very much enjoyed it. Mark Twain calls Anne, "the most moving and delightful child of fiction since the immortal Alice." I have to agree. Alice in Wonderland is another of my favorites. Both characters are supremely curious about the world around them. I see myself in Anne (and Alice) and I'm sure others do too. The whole series is fantastic. The people who like Little Women, Jane Eyre, and Jane Austen books will probably love this too.
