Anne of Green Gables: A Graphic Novel

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite books of all time, and I was so excited to be able to share the story with my 9 year old. She is now really looking forward to being able to read the full novel when she is a little bit older. The illustrations are beautiful, the story is timeless, the text is easy to read, and the length is very manageable. I bought all of the graphic novels in this collection.

Bought this for my granddaughter after I had watched the move on television. She loved it

Update: I enjoyed the book and I was surprised at the ending. This book is not the entire story, so I’ve heard. But it’s entertaining. Previous review: I just purchased Anne of Green Gables: A Graphic Novel. I love the graphics and I'm sure I will love the story, judging by the reviews. I have never read the book, nor watched it on Television. I know this is not helpful, but I am kind of excited about the book and I can't wait to read it. However, due to Thanksgiving tomorrow, I have to make preparations. So I will save this, and update it as soon as I can. My overall rating is four stars for now. Thank you.

Favorite book from my childhood. Hope my granddaughter will like it too.

I cannot wait to see what other books are in this series. My daughter is in Kindergarten and so badly wants to read but is not quite there yet. She usually goes through her older brother’s graphic novels but I knew they aren’t really what she’s interested in. I’m not even sure how I stumbled upon these, but I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this to my daughter. She enjoys the stunning, vivid drawings, and makes brushing hair so much more pleasant for both of us. I was truly surprised at the thoughtfulness of the author in choosing which parts of the story to tell. As a former literacy teacher, I cannot recommend this enough!

In Anne of Green Gables: A Graphic Novel, Mariah Marsden breathes new life into L.M. Montgomery’s beloved classic, making it accessible for a new generation of readers. This beautifully illustrated adaptation captures the magic and charm of Anne Shirley, an imaginative 11-year-old orphan whose arrival at Green Gables transforms the lives of everyone around her. When siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert set out to adopt a boy to help manage their family farm, they are caught off guard by the delightful whirlwind that is Anne. With her fiery red hair and vivid imagination, Anne gets into a series of misadventures that bring laughter, love, and a little romance to the small community. Friends like Diana Barry and rivals like Gilbert Blythe add to Anne’s dynamic story, as her escapades turn the mundane into the extraordinary. This graphic novel beautifully conveys the essence of Anne's journey—from her triumphs to her challenges—while showcasing her ability to find joy in every situation. Anne of Green Gables: A Graphic Novel is not only a perfect introduction for newcomers but also a nostalgic treat for kindred spirits, celebrating the enduring spirit of a character who has captured hearts for generations.

My girl is already loving this and takes me back to the 80s films I grew up with. I was already looking for additional books but don’t see any! Hopefully the author will add more to the series because it’s wonderful!

This is a beautiful book. It’s engaging and the pictures are well drawn with vibrant colors. It holds the attention of my 11 year old girl well. My only issue is that there seems to be a printing issue. We’ve only found one page so far but it made the the bubbles unreadable for my kid. The edges were cut off and the bubbles were placed behind objects. I was able to fill in the blanks for her but it’s frustrating nonetheless.

Honestly, this is one of the best graphic novels I’ve received. The packaging was safe and secure, with no scratches or marks. The book feels completely new and in perfect condition. I truly appreciate the care taken. If you’re looking for a graphic novel for kids or you’re a fan of Anne of Green Gables, go for it.

Amazing book with amazing art

Awesome book

Anne et la maison aux pignons verts fait partie de ces lectures marquantes que jamais on oublie. Ce roman canadien, succès incontournable outre-Atlantique, a été écrit en 1908 pour des lecteurs de tout âge (cela bien qu’il soit paru en France pour la première fois dans la collection Bibliothèque verte). Depuis peu, il connait un renouveau, on le recommande à droite, à gauche et il existe même une adaptation en série sur Netflix (pas mal du tout d’ailleurs). Si vous ne l’avez jamais lu, je vous recommande la lecture de ce très beau roman. il raconte l’histoire d’Anne, une jeune fille un peu trop maigre (d’après elle), aux cheveux roux et au visage parsemé de tâches de rousseur, débordante d’imagination et d’un optimisme à toute épreuve. Elle va se faire adopter, par erreur, par Matthew et Marilla, un frère et une soeur, qui désiraient en fait un garçon de ferme pour les aider. La jeune fille va rapidement trouver sa place, que ce soit à la ferme ou dans le coeur de Matthew et Marilla. Anne et la maison aux pignons verts est un formidable roman d’apprentissage. On ne peut qu’aimer cette jeune fille naïve, impétueuse et déterminée qui va peu à peu apprendre à être plus posée et se découvrir une famille, des amis… On se laisse charmer par son imagination débridée, ses maladresses, on rit, on pleure … un merveilleux roman vraiment! Mon ainée qui lit maintenant en anglais aime énormément les romans graphiques. Imaginez ma joie quand j’ai découvert celui-ci! Je dois dire que cette adaptation de Mariah Marsden & Brenna Thummler est vraiment réussie. Pour moi qui ai lu cette histoire il y a des années, j’ai retrouvé non seulement des images ou sensations que je m’étais imaginées, mais aussi l’atmosphère de l’oeuvre originale. De plus, les illustrations sont belles. Personnellement, j’aime beaucoup le choix de ces couleurs joyeuses et vives, pour moi parfaites pour illustrer cette histoire pleine de VIE dans un environnement certainement riche en couleurs naturelles. Certains puristes y trouveront certainement de petites choses qui ne vont pas, cela reste une adaptation et ne remplacera jamais la lecture de l’oeuvre originale. Mais elle est assez bien réalisée pour donner envie de se plonger ensuite dans la lecture du formidable roman de Lucy Maud Montgomery.

A visual travel!
