"I immediately fell in love with this book — and with Anne. As the girl herself, the book is positive and when I read it, it was always with joy and happy thoughts. All the adventures Anne had — in her head or not — were always amusing. Whatever happened, Anne learned a lesson and matured a little." - Sarah Coquoz, Blogger"The story is fit perfectly for a young reader and also gives much knowledge! I would absolutely recommend this book to others with young readers at home. " - Keirstin Smith, NetGalley"An amazing first introduction to classic literature.

" - Reading Lit Resources, NetGalley"If new covers and pictures will lead a new generation of readers to Anne (with an e) of Green Gables, then I am all for it...The book itself has been beloved for years, to there is no need to review the story, just to say that a new presentation of it is always welcome." - Laura Testa-Reyes, NetGalley"It is always fun revisiting this book, a favourite from childhood.
