Rating:
Summary: Read by a Mom :)
Review: Yes, I'm 37 years old and decided finally it was time for me to read these books! I kept searching for books to read and this set always comes up. I just finished book 1 (Anne of Green Gables)..Now I'm on 2. Ann of Green Gables is about a VERY talkative little girl who is adopted by what seems to be at first a cold, proper, prudish, mother who wanted a boy and also a country husband of few words. Anne is opposite of both these people. Very outgoing, not shy, not afraid to voice her opinion, and is really really into her own imagination. She is very much a red head. She opens the hearts and minds to these prudish parents who become loving and kind to her. They realize that not only did they save Anne's life, but she in fact, saved thiers. It's a sweet story with lots of funny parts. Anne is constantly getting into these situations that are embarresing. Never you mind, she is so strong willed that she manages to get her own self out of it. I love the fact that she doesn't rely on her parents to get her out of her problems.
Even though she wore even me out with all that talking she does (We all have at least 1 child like this) , you can't help but warm up to her. She is also a drama queen. I guess they even existed in early 1900's right? I enjoyed the story very much and am now on the second book which after only 6 chapters has me really excited. So far the second books is very funny.
I would recommend this book to readers typically at least 10 years old and up.
