Schoolyard rivalries. Baking disasters. Puffed sleeves. Explore the violet vales and glorious green of Avonlea in this spirited 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. mdash, Brian Selznick, author/illustrator of ldquo, The Invention of Hugo Cabret rdquo, and ldquo, The Marvels rdquo, 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. Lynda, and that infuriating tease, Gilbert Blythe. From triumphs and thrills to the depths of despair, Anne turns each everyday moment into something extraordinary.

Audiobook + Print Copy = Immerssive Experience

Listening to an audiobook of a graphic novel while following along in a print copy was a wonderfully unique reading experience! The beloved classic Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery was adapted as a graphic novel by Mariah Marsden and illustrated by Brenna Thummler. The art is truly beautiful; I haven’t read the original novel so I can’t speak to the integrity of the adaptation. The 2-hour audiobook is narrated by Sharon Alexander, Alan Carlson, and Rachel Jacobs. Their voices are perfect and the ambient sounds pulled me deeply into the story.

Wonderful as an Audiobook and as a Graphic Novel

This adaptation is available both as a graphic novel and this audiobook version. I listened to the audiobook and read the graphic novel after, since the audiobook I have doesn’t include the illustrations, and I was curious if they lived up to the audio adaption of Anne of Green Gables. Listening to this audiobook was such a pleasure, it really does bring the spirit of Anne to life, and adds so much charm to the story. Timewise, this is much more manageable for younger children as it is slightly an hour and forty-five minutes. With three distinct narrators, Sharon Alexander as Anne, Rachel Jacobs as Marilla and Alan Carlson as Gilbert, this flows effortlessly, and is perfect on its own. This abridged adaptation of Anne of Green Gables provides a wonderful introduction to Anne for children, one which parents will also enjoy. Many thanks for the ARC provided by Andrews McMeel Audio / Andrews McMeel Publishing

Spirit of Anne

I loved this, mine was an audio book, and it brought back all the memories of the books that I've read and the video's that I watched. The book starts at the beginning, and and goes right up until Anne is ready for collage. What a great way to share with a child your love of Anne of Green Gables, a book that you and they will never want to end. This is geared to 7 to 12 year olds to create a new group to endear with this wonderful series, and you will soon find yourself back on Prince Edwards Island, Canada, and bringing the spirit of Anne alive for your child! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Andrews McNeel Audio, and was not required to give a positive review.
