review:
'Anne of Green Gables: A Graphic Novel' is an adaptation of the novel by L.M. Montgomery adapted by Mariah Marsden with illustrations by Brenna Thummler. It's a very fine retelling of this story.

When brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert struggle to keep their farm running, they decide to send for an orphan to help out. They hope for a boy, but what they get is Anne. She brings joy and a little chaos into their lives with her ever running imagination and exuberance. Over time, she wins them over and Green Gables becomes Anne's home. Anne's mishaps are hilarious and her remorse over them is sweet.

I've read the book and seen a movie or two. I also gave this the true test and let my great niece read it. She loved it. I asked her what I should rate it, and she gave it four stars. I can't argue with that. This is a fine adaptation.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
