It has been years since I've read Anne of Green Gables and my husband bought me the entire series for Christmas. So with great anticipation, I sat down with the very first book of the series ... and realize that as an adult, Anne just talks too much. But I still love her as much as I did as a child ... but this time, as a mom, I relate more to Miralla's story than I did before. Ah. Anne sure has imagination and determination and grits!
If you have never heard of the orphaned girl who was accidentally sent to a household that is run by a brother and a sister ... who were actually looking for a boy to help Matthew with the farm chores, then you are in for a treat. Anne may talk a lot (as I mentioned above), she sure is full of flight and fancy that will tickle every serious reader's bones. Everyone who meets her just falls in love with her ... she is an unique character, that's for sure. I have never met a character like Anne Shirley. I am definitely looking forward to the rest of the chronicles.
This is a perfect book for young readers looking to start out on their own. It is full of good morals and stories and about life. If you have children that are imaginative and loves to read, I would encourage this book for them. I plan to introduce this book to my sons ... when they're a little bit older. It is such a fun book to read and to discuss over.
I think my husband has made my Christmas a bit sweeter by giving me the entire series of Anne of Green Gables.

I'm sure if I read this story NOW, I'd have more appreciation for it. I was FORCED to read it in the 5th grade. However, it was an interesting story, and I've seen tv and film versions of it since.
This is a very interesting story following the antics of an orphaned girl who wants to be loved and accepted. She has a very dramatic imagination, which makes some of her antics rather amusing.
I vaguely remember most of the story, to be honest, but large chunks of it are still with me, even after all these years. It's a story that stays with you for your whole life after taking it in.
It's just a pity I couldn't appreciate it then.

If your looking for a classic book in small children language, this is the book. I felt that this book did a well job in introducing Anne Shirley to my young daughter. The book is tended for 1st through 3rd grade students. It is well written. If you loved reading about Anne Shirley while you were growing up, and wish to have your daughters find out about this wonderful girl, then this book is for you.

As a child I remember a teacher telling us to think of our "Happy Place" when things weren't going well, this book has become my "happy book" over the years. When I'm sad, bored or sick, I like to curl up in a chair and travel into Anne's world, it is like a comforting friend. Anne of Green Gables spans the generations - I've spent many hours reliving passages with my 80 yr old Grandmother. She will often laugh about a day being a "Jonas Day" or someone being a "kindred spirit". I think there is a little bit of Anne (with an e) in all of us. Once you read these books the innocence and passion of Anne seems to remain with you forever, no matter how old you get.

As far as classic historical novels go, Anne of Green Gables is one of the best. As imaginative Anne Shirely is adopted by Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, a brother and sister on Prince Edward Island, the reader is treated to numerous adventures as Anne does her best to stay out of trouble. Trouble always finds her, and Anne treats us to lessons in keeping control of imagination, accepting and loving our looks, and how doing the right thing will always work out in the end. The language in the book is beautiful and while reviewing it I was remembering my pure delight as I read the book at age twelve, identifying with Anne Shirley 100%. As a positive psychologist I'm sure that your "tween" daughter will definitely relate to Anne and her adventures.
