Anne of Green Gables

Anne of Green Gables

By: Lucy Maud Montgomery

Anne of Green Gables is a great book about an orphan girl named Anne-spelled with an E Shirley. She is adopted by Mathew and Marilla Cuthbert and goes to live at Green Gables, a farm house on Prince Edward Island. The book follows Anne's life over the first few years of her adoption. Anne of Green Gables is a heartwarming story about a young girl and all her mistakes and triumphs. It is about growing up and learning that life isn't always the fairytale you dreamed it was when you were young. It is about learning that you can't always get what you want (like puffed sleeves) but you should be thankful for what you have, because things can be so much worse. Through Anne you learn that dreams are just that, dreams, even if they do come true sometimes. You learn the glory of an imagination. Through this book you learn what it means to be a human, with all the good and bad, the character traits and flaws, the successes both big and small, along with the shortcomings. You learn that no victory is too small and no voice is insignificant. Join Anne as she encounters the ups and downs of life, gets herself and those she loves in "scrapes" and just has fun.

I love this book so much. I've probably read it like a gazillion times. Even more, or just as many times as I've read Harry Potter. Of course, this book is shorter than Harry Potter so it is easier. Anyway, even if it doesn't seem interesting, you should still read it, because it is a lot better, than what it sounds like. I didn't really do it justice. Just read it, it is great. I think you'll like it. It's just one of those books that you like. Especially if you like classics, like Little Women, you should read this book. Also, if you haven't read Little Women read that too. It's also really great. If you like realistic fiction books you would probably really like this book. It is set in the past, so if you like historical fiction, you might like it as well. I just think that anyone would like this book regardless, of what genre they like though. If you are interested, and you should be, even though I described it really badly, I know for sure that they have it on Kindle. In fact, they have pretty much the entire series on Kindle. I got the Anne of Green Gables Collection and it has most of the books and more!

So, yes, this is a series, but it isn't one of those series's where you just have to read the next book. In fact for the longest amount of time, I didn't even know it was a series, until I got the book on Kindle. (I have a paper copy of this book too). In case you were wondering, the order of the books in the series are as follows: Anne of Green Gables; Anne of Avonlea; Anne of the Island; Anne of Windy Poplars; Anne's House of Dreams; Anne of Ingleside; Rainbow Valley and Rilla of Ingleside. I have read all of them except for Anne of Windy Poplars and Anne of Ingleside.

I'm now going to post the Goodreads review, because I just did a really bad job at describing this book and you will probably be more inclined to read it if you read this summary. 
Everyone's favorite redhead, the spunky Anne Shirley, begins her adventures at Green Gables, a farm outside Avonlea, Prince Edward Island. When the freckled girl realizes that the elderly Cuthberts wanted to adopt a boy instead, she begins to try to win them and, consequently, the reader, over. --Goodreads

I know the book still doesn't seem really interesting, but it is really entertaining and it's so easy to get attached to the characters. Please, please, please, give it a chance. Also, don't forget to check out my polls, I have them on the side, and sometimes people realize they're there, but not usually.

PS  Did anyone notice the google picture on Monday, November 30th? The picture was of a red haired girl doing various things like eating with old people and reading with a black haired girl. That girl was Anne!!! It was in honor of Lucy Maud Montgomery's birthday! Anyway, I just thought that was cool...

Bye for now!

This a picture of the copy of the book that I have,
