From Goodreads: Schoolyard rivalries. Baking disasters. Puffed sleeves. Explore the violet vales and glorious green of Avonlea in this spirited adaptation.The magic of L.M. Montgomery’s treasured classic is reimagined in a whimsically-illustrated graphic novel adaptation perfect for newcomers and kindred spirits alike. When Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan who can help manage their family farm, they have no idea what delightful trouble awaits them. With flame-red hair and an unstoppable imagination, 11-year-old Anne Shirley takes Green Gables by storm.
Anne’s misadventures bring a little romance to the lives of everyone she meets: her bosom friend, Diana Barry; the town gossip, Mrs. Lynde; and that infuriating tease, Gilbert Blythe. From triumphs and thrills to the depths of despair, Anne turns each everyday moment into something extraordinary.
My Thoughts:
- I loved revisiting Green Gables in a new way! I hope they adapt the rest of the series into graphic novels as well.
- This was such a great adaptation. They really captured the characters, the scenery, and the spirit of the story.
- The illustrations were great! The facial expressions on Marilla and Matthew were my favorite. They held so much emotion. This book almost didn't need dialogue.
- Loved it!
I want to read this. I want to see the illustrations!
