'Oh, it seems so wonderful that I'm going to live with you and belong to you. I've never belonged to anybody'
When a scrawny, freckled girl with bright red hair arrives on Prince Edward Island, Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are taken by surprise; they'd asked for a quiet boy to help with the farm work at Green Gables. But how can you return a friendless child to a grim orphanage when she tells you her life so far has been a 'perfect graveyard of buried hopes'? And so, the beguiling chatterbox stays. Full of dreams, warmth and spirit, it is not long before Anne Shirley wins their hearts.

Sweet and Spunky
Sarina S. - 6 years 3 months agoI cannot praise this book enough! Anne is one of the best literary heroines of all time! She is sweet and spunky and warms the heart of every reader! This book is filled with memorable characters that will leave you wanting more! Luckily there are 7 more Anne books after this one, so pour yourself a class of raspberry cordial and starting reading!! #SummerReading

A moving novel for all ages!
Lauren S. - 6 years 4 months agoI first got Anne of Green Gables from HPB because I had heard good reviews about it and I wanted to read a classic. My expectations were immediately exceeded as Montgomery has created a touching tale of drama and becoming-of-age. Anne Shirley is a unique character and by the end of the book you will be crying, laughing, and smiling with her. This book is filled with raw emotion and you will start to feel for the characters as if they are you best friends. I would recommend this book to anyone that can read! It is a truly moving and heartfelt tale. #SummerReading
