Best-Selling Books

Four books for young readers reviewed by Susan Olasky

Anne of Green Gables | L.M. Montgomery

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication of Anne of Green Gables, publisher Putnam has issued a special edition of the wonderful novel, first published in 1908.

Anne—the 11-year-old orphan who comes to Avonlea and turns Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert's staid world upside down—is funny, deeply loyal (she also holds long grudges), impulsive, mistake-prone (but never the same mistake twice), and plagued by her red hair and freckles.
