“Anne Of Green Gables” by Dianne Bates
Illustrated by Lucy Corvino
Have you read Anne Of Green Gables before? If you haven’t you need to, because it is a
great book. It all starts when Matthew arrives at the train station to find a girl called Anne
instead of a boy. The orphanage had sent the wrong child. They went home to the farm
to Matthew’s sister Marilla, Marilla wasn't excatly happy, a but they had a trial peroid to
see if they would keep her. Anne starts school and starting an ongoing feud with a boy
called Gilbert(the smartest boy in the class). They then both get offered to learn a bit
more to get the scholarship. Do they end their feud and both get the scholarships?
The main characters in the book are Anne, Marilla and Matthew. Anne is a 11 year old
girl. Anne has bright red hair and a very mischievous personality with occasional kind
of streak. Marilla is a tall skinny old lady, but is a hard working, kind person. Marilla
was always quite shy though. Matthew is a 60 year old man, with a hard working
personality also. He is getting quite old and is finding it difficult to work on the farm.
Anne of Green Gables is a fiction book with adventure. I really think that you should
read this book if you haven’t because it is really good. I really enjoyed reading it because
it has got lots of different genres in it. I think this book is for 10+ because the language
is appropriate and easy to understand.
