The spirit of Anne is alive and well in Mariah Marsdens crisp adaptation, and its a thrill to watch as the beloved orphan rushes headlong through Brenna Thummlers heavenly landscapes. Together Marsden and Thummler conjure all the magic and beauty of Green Gables. Like Anne herself, you wont want to leave. -- Brian Selznick, author/illustrator of The Invention of Hugo Cabret and The Marvels The magic of L.M. Montgomerys treasured classic is reimagined in a whimsically-illustrated graphic novel adaptation perfect for newcomers and kindred spirits alike.

Annes 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.
