Schoolyard rivalries. Baking disasters. Puffed sleeves. Explore the violet vales and glorious green of Avonlea in this spirited graphic novel adaptation.

The spirit of Anne is alive and well in Mariah Marsden's crisp adaptation, and it's a thrill to watch as the beloved orphan rushes headlong through Brenna Thummler's heavenly landscapes. Together Marsden and Thummler conjure all the magic and beauty of Green Gables. Like Anne herself, you won't want to leave.
 — Brian Selznick, author/illustrator of “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” and “The Marvels”

The magic of L.M. Montgomery’s treasured classic is reimagined in a whimsically-illustrated graphic novel adaptation perfect for newcomers and kindred spirits alike.

When Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan who can help manage their family farm, they have no idea what delightful trouble awaits them. With flame-red hair and an unstoppable imagination, 11-year-old Anne Shirley takes Green Gables by storm.

Anne’s misadventures bring a little romance to the lives of everyone she meets: her bosom friend, Diana Barry; the town gossip, Mrs. Lynde; and that infuriating tease, Gilbert Blythe. From triumphs and thrills to the depths of despair, Anne turns each everyday moment into something extraordinary.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 3–7—A jewel-toned graphic novel adaptation of the beloved classic. This abridged version of Anne of Green Gables appropriately condenses the longtime favorite into a more accessible volume, but it doesn't cut out the spirit of Montgomery's effervescent heroine. As chatty, imaginative, and scatter-brained as ever, the redheaded protagonist and her new family and town are brought to vivid life by the humorous dialogue and the vignettes that Marsden selected for this treatment. Anne's adventures with the raspberry cordial, dyed hair, Haunted Wood, puffed sleeves, and Lady of Shallot are portrayed with aplomb. Readers are also treated to the endearing characters of busybody Rachel Lynde, dreamy but practical Diana, teasing Gilbert Blythe, shy Matthew, and the hard-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside Marilla. Other favorite characters get short shrift: Miss Stacy is barely mentioned. What makes all of these characters and episodes stand out are the almost-Technicolor illustrations by Thummler, whose interpretation of Avonlea and Green Gables will make anyone understand why the verbose orphan would want to stay in this candy-colored paradise. The landscapes, characterizations, joys and triumphs, and moments of despair are brilliantly depicted in a variety of panel sizes, which serve to heighten the narrative plot points and convey the pacing of each scene. Full pages and spreads are used intermittently to dramatic effect. The winning combination will please both fans and newcomers. VERDICT A gem of a graphic novel adaptation that should be shelved right alongside the original for those who don't want to wade through the wordy prose. A must-purchase.—Shelley M. Diaz, School Library Journal

Review

The spirit of Anne is alive and well in Mariah Marsden's crisp adaptation, and it's a thrill to watch as the beloved orphan rushes headlong through Brenna Thummler's heavenly landscapes. Together Marsden and Thummler conjure all the magic and beauty of Green Gables. Like Anne herself, you won't want to leave. (Brian Selznick, author/illustrator of “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” and “The Marvels”)

The illustrations are incredible. Like Anne, I wanted to stay in Green Gables right away, and I loved it even more as the seasons changed and the years passed. And Anne is such a captivating character—uncertain but determined, vulnerable but strong, unique but universal. I finished reading this book and then immediately read it again. (Dana Simpson, cartoonist, “Phoebe & Her Unicorn,” “Ozy & Millie”)

From the first panel, I was enchanted. . . . Thummler's illustrations are beautiful, inviting, and lovely . . . I read it in one sitting, and it stayed with me long after. This was a delight! (Georgia Dunn, cartoonist, “Breaking Cat News”)

An orphan with “hair as red as carrots” and the mischief she creates come to vivid life in this graphic novel version of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic novel, a debut for both author and artist. Thummler’s crisp illustrations warmly capture pug-nosed Anne’s indomitable spirit as she navigates her new life with sibling caretakers Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. Marsden distills the high notes from Montgomery’s original—the raspberry cordial incident, Anne’s redemption, and the dress with the pretty puffed sleeves among them—while Thummler’s bright palette showcases the natural beauty in Avonlea that so captivates Anne. Darker shades and stark blocking imbue somber moments with deep emotion: Matthew’s loneliness is viscerally apparent in an early scene in which he contemplates returning Anne to the orphanage, his figure hunched and still on the lower quarter of the page while vast darkness stretches above him. But the story is carried by Anne’s pure, unabashed joy and eagerness. Newcomers to Anne’s world and devoted fans alike should devour this spirited adaptation. Ages 7–12. (Oct.) (Publishers Weekly, Publishers Weekly)

“L. M. Montgomery’s classic tale is delicately and lovingly transformed into a graphic novel…Though the original tale is abridged and adapted, Marsden is careful not to rush the plot…[Thummler’s] soft, pastel palette is a perfect complement to the historical setting, and her softly glowing art is the heart of this fitting tribute to a beloved work.” (Snow Wildsmith, Booklist)

“A gem of a graphic novel adaptation that should be shelved right alongside the original…A must-purchase.” (School Library Journal)

 "A classic presented in a new format that's perfectly suited for one of the most imaginative girls in children's literature."
(Stephanie Anderson, Shelf Awareness)

Beautifully done artistic and accurate
This is an excellent, and beautifully done representation of a well loved classic story. To address a problem raised by a different review. The page where its not possible to read all the text is meant to be that way. It’s meant to show that Anne has a tendency of talking to the point of distraction. The artist was trying to draw attention to what was happening to her friend while she was blabbering on. It’s not important what Anne was talking about, only that her friend was accidentally drinking wine instead of raspberry cordial, and subsequently getting drunk. This is the only part of the book that puts the art over top of the words. It is on purpose.

5.0 out of 5 stars a gem in its own right

This story is hilarious. I passed on reading Anne of Green Gables as a kid, as my interests were much more toward science fiction, fantasy and contemporary ensembles than "old-timey girl stories". Having now read this graphic novel abridged version by Mariah Marsden & Brenna Thummler, I can easily see why it is a beloved classic that spawned several sequels and adaptations.
Anne is a very likable character, though not perfect by any means, and she has to confront both unfriendly people and her own mistakes throughout the course of the plot. She's very kind at heart though she has rarely been shown warmth in her life, and tends to be impulsive and opinionated. I'll certainly be interested to read the original book, and maybe more after that. Though Anne is mature and level-headed by the end, I hope she still gets into humorous situations brought on by her active imagination, reckless pride, and bristly temper.
I got this for a girl who struggles a bit with reading at her grade level, and really has to be interested to stick with a story. Comics and graphic novels help keep her attention. The artwork fits really well with the story, and has a great sense of framing, color and light, as I saw in the preview pages.

I first read Anne of Green Gables as a child. I loved it then and I still love it today. This graphic novel condenses it into a faster read. I loved the artwork. It was certainly a new way for me to enjoy Anne. I’m an older adult and I was entertained by this graphic novel. This would be a wonderful edition to add to anyone’s Anne collection. It would also be a fun book for the youngsters. I will be sharing this with friends my age, my daughters, and my granddaughters, ages 8 and 13. I think the eight year old will be able to enjoy it with a little reading help. I have discovered a new love for graphic novels.

Great introduction for young readers to the works of LM Montgomery! I tried reading the original to my 3rd grade daughter, but she was bored by all the prose, but she really enjoys graphic novels so I thought we'd give this a try - it was a hit! I hope the author ends up making the whole series of Anne books.

From my daughter - I liked that anne with an e !! Was always full of surprises my favorite one was when Anne with an e used currant wine instead of raspberry cordial and one time she used headache liniment instead of vanilla flavoring for a cake! 🎂

Purchased for my 12-year-old daughter who was hesitant to dig into the L.M. Montgomery classic; beautiful book. I saw a review that said the book isn't a ton of images, but it really is a classic graphic novel - cover to cover with great images and short narrative - while staying true to Montgomery's iconic story. Highly recommend - a treasure for adults and children alike!

From the first page I was instantly captivated by Anne’s character she was such a breath of fresh air; the illustrations are beautiful, warm and so inviting. I have never read the full ‘Anne of Green Gables’ novel but reading this graphic novel I now know for sure that it’s something I want to read. I loved Green Gables, Marilla and Matthew. Each aspect of this story had its own unique touch. It was fun to see Anne’s character growth as she went from a talkative orphaned girl with a wild imagination to a responsible and ambitious young lady who wanted to make others happy.
