The book was okay. I definitely grew out of these sorts of Classic Starts stories, considering that I thought Gilbert and Anne's dynamic would be "enemies to lovers" And it was! I felt proud of predicting something! It was entertaining, at the very least and was simple. Would I read this again? Probably not. It's not that the book is bad! I just feel like this wasn't something I'd normally go for, but I was entertained while it lasted!

A nice abridged version. Must be difficult to decide what parts from the original copy to onit and keep, so was left desiring a little more, but provides a great picture of Anne's bouncy character and her life at Green Gables.

This is actually my first go around with Anne of Green Gables, and I’m so glad to have finally met her! What a sweet story that I’m sure to share with my daughter over and over again. Anne’s story stands the test of time for sure!

When I went to find a copy of the book, I did not realize was that there are so many different versions of this classic, and how different they are from one another!! I started off by picking up both the graphic novel and the “original” version of the books. After I picked up the “original” and read a few pages, I realized that it was definitely NOT the version that I read back in elementary school. The language and sentence structure did not make it an easy read, and I’m sure most children do not pick up this copy for that reason. I ended up putting it down after a few pages because it wasn’t what I was looking for in a Middle Grade novel.
After being unsure of the graphic novel, I picked up my third (lol) version which was an “abridged classic” version. I highly recommend this version as well, especially for young readers. It is easy to fall in love with Anne. ❤️
I remember reading the Illustrated Classics version and absolutely falling in love with Anne’s wagon rides and the scenery of Green Gables. I’ve been trying to find an affordable copy of it online!
