My Rating


Before reading the graphic novel, I had never read the original ‘Anne of Green Gables’ story by Lucy Maud Montgomery. However, I knew my mother loved one of the TV show adaptations. As I started the book, I had no idea about the plot, except that it followed a young girl named Anne and that Green Gables was her home.

I chose the graphic novel version by Mariah Marsden because it seemed like an easier read and the artwork is amazing. The story follows orphan Anne, who is fostered by a brother and sister. Surprisingly, I learned that her guardians were siblings, as I had always assumed Anne lived with her grandparents.

“Its strange to love a place like you would a person, but I do!”

I loved how the brother and sister, despite originally intending to foster a boy, fell in love with Anne and her bold personality. She truly completed their little family. The book’s wholesome and fun narrative makes it easy to see why people consider it a classic.

Overall, the ending was both sad and sweet, leaving a lasting impression on me. I found it to be a quick and cute fun story that both kids and adults would like. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and am now excited to watch some of the adaptations to see how they compare.
