Book Description:
As soon as Anne Shirley arrived at the snug, white farmhouse called Green Gables, she knew she wanted to stay forever ... but would the Cuthberts send her back to the orphanage?
Anne knows she's not what they expected -- a skinny girl with decidedly red hair and a temper to match. If only she could convince them to let her stay; she'd try very hard not to keep rushing headlong into scrapes or blurt out the very first thing she had to say.
Anne was not like anybody else, everyone at Green Gables agreed; she was special -- a girl with an enormous imagination. This orphan girl dreamed of the day when she could call herself Anne of Green Gables.

This book is a great read for an upcoming teen or tweener interested in life at the turn of the century but its appeal crosses all generations and genders. Equally as good as the Disney real-life portrayal of this 20th century gem!

MARVELOUS-a true classic story. One that you can read over and over.
I've just re-read this in my quest to read the classics I missed and/or have forgotten, and am again enamoured with Anne. Just as she does in the story, the girl grabs your heart and you find yourself rooting for her though you know she'll do well without your help. I find myself remembering feeling the way she did at times, with her imagination and the adults around her finding her creativity but silliness. Dear to my heart, and I'll be (re)reading the rest of the series as well! Next up is Anne of Avonlea.
Michelle K. (One of my favorite books of all time. Just bought one so I could share it with my daughter. An great story of being yourself, growing up, and love. Definitely recommended!!!
Lisa J. (This is a great story for children or adults. A classic. One of my all time favorite stories from when I was a child.
One of my all-time favorites...a true classic, and enjoyable by adults and children alike.
Julie K. from EAST LANSING, MI wrote on 4/26/2007...My favorite book in the whole world! Anne Shirley is a wonderful little orphan girl who tries to find her place in the world of Avonlea at Green Gables. Each page is an adventure- a total classic read.
LeeAnn B. (The Anne of Green Gables Series #1. A delicious classic.
Margaret B. from PUTNAM, CT wrote on 3/24/2007...Very enjoyable for all ages.
Kylene G. from PORTLAND, OR wrote on 3/14/2007...Every girl loves this book. I don't know how you make it through girlhood without it. Everyone sympathizes with Anne Shirley and her "scrapes". Anne is one of our bosom companions and we love her. A tale of a simpler time.
A wonderful story of a little orphan girl growing up on Prince Edward Island near the beginning of the 19th century. A true classic of fantasy, family, and love.
