Anne of Green Gables

This Post came from School Library Journal's blog - Fuse #8. I love the way this comment describes Anne of Green Gables - a real favourite of mine when I was growing up.
My copy looked like this:

Oh how I wanted to be Anne Shirley growing up! I could relate to her so much-I was imaginative and had a temper to match, so I always felt as though Anne was a kindred spirit. And who wouldn’t want to end up with Gilbert Blythe?? This is a series that whenever I would read them, I would find myself in a “reading fog”. I would stop reading and have to remember that I wasn’t on Prince Edward Island with Anne and Diana. It always seemed like such a magical place and I wished for those books to be real. A friend said it best when she told me “there’s always a Anne book for every stage of life.” I think that’s what makes them timeless. – Sarah (Green Bean Teen Queen)


L. M. Montgomery’s books are the sort of books I reread every few years just to feel that life is good. – Sondra Eklund
