Anne of Green Gables is a story about a charismatic young girl named Anne. Anne is an orphaned that is adopted by Marilla and Matthew Cutbert. At first this mistake of a girl instead of boy seems to be horrific. Before Marilla knows she’s swept off her feet by Anne. Anne has a way of enchanting everyone she talks to. Throughout the book you learn of Anne’s relationships with everything. Anne has relationships with more than just people but with animals and plants and whole forests of trees. As you read you get the pleasure of watching Anne grow and prune herself into a young lady. To give more of a synopsis of the book would give away some of the secrets that you learn throughout the book.

I would recommend this book to any young adult girl. Through Anne there are multiple lessons learned. I’ve learned that criticism is good as long as you take it for what it is and help correct you actions. I’ve learned that optimism helps each day to be brighter. I’ve learned that a dare doesn’t always have to be followed through. This book is just a wholesome book that is worth taking your spare time to read, and that’s saying a lot because I’m not a big reader.
