Review Detail

Reader reviewed by leebase

I first fell in love with this story from the PBS mini-series.   Usually a book is far better than any movie, but this movie was so good, I wondered.   The book was every bit as good as the show.   The character, Anne, is a precocious girl that just steals your heart.   An orphan who goes through such trials and is adopted by an odd couple -- older brother and sister.

Seeing the world through this child's eyes is a real treat.   Seeing the impact that she has on the couple -- and they on her warms your heart.   It's a book about life, about best friends, about wonder.

I shared this book with my 13yr old daughter and she loved it too.   She did have trouble with the words at first, so it may not be the best book for a weaker reader.

You'll want to visit Green Gables yourself after reading this book.
