Anne, an eleven-year-old orphan, is sent by mistake to live with a lonely, middle-aged brother and sister on a Prince Edward Island farm and proceeds to make an indelible impression on everyone around her.—Baker & Taylor
"Anne of Green Gables was the first chapter book I read between the ages 8–10 years-old. It was also the first book I had read where I could see myself in a character.

Anne became my kindred spirit, and she taught me that being different, thinking abstractly, being creative and imaginative, and being adopted were not bad things, but marvelous things."—Submitted by Meg A., ACS
