Anne of Green Gables: the graphic novel
Anne Shirley, a highly imaginative 11 year old with fiery red hair and a temper to match, has never known as stable home since her parents died when she was a baby. Taken from home to home to work as a nanny to children not much younger than she, it's a huge change when she hears she is to be adopted by a pair of siblings on Prince Edward Island.Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are expecting to pick up a boy form the train station after deciding to adopt an orphan to help them manage the family farm. When Matthew returns with Anne instead, their lives are turned upside down. However, soon the entire town is a little bit different at the arrival of this girl.
This graphic novel follows Anne as she makes new friends, finds new adventures and changes the lives of all she encounters in little ways. From triumphs and thrills to the depths of despair, Anne finds the extraordinary in the ordinary, letting magic seep into each day.
About this Genre:
This story would fall into the realistic fiction, perhaps also coming of age as a sub-genre. It's less of a romance but more about adventure and finding magic in the everyday experiences we all have. Given the age of the piece, it could be considered historical fiction as well.
