📚 Publishing Date: March 1, 2022

✔️Synopsis:
Anne of Green Gables with a twist: in this follow-up to Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy and The Secret Garden on 81st Street, this full-color graphic novel moves Anne Shirley to modern-day West Philadelphia, where where she finds new friends, new rivals, and a new family.

When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert decide to foster a teenage girl for the first time, their lives are changed forever. Their redheaded foster daughter, Anne Shirley, is in search of an exciting life and has decided that West Philly is where she’s going to find it. Armed with a big personality and unstoppable creativity, Anne takes her new home by storm as she joins the robotics club, makes new friends in Diana and Gilbert, experiences first love, and turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. But as Anne starts to get comfortable, she discovers one thing she wasn’t looking for: a family.

✔️Review:
I have to say that I really enjoyed this book. It was so real and touched on a lot of issues for children as well as adults. The graphics were on point and the story was easy to follow. It was an emotional roller coaster, to say the least!
I really can’t say enough good things about this book. Very well done!!

❓ Have you ever considered fostering a child? Or have you ever fostered? Or have you been a foster child yourself? ❓
This is something that I’ve always wanted to do, but with a house divided - 2 for/2 against - I guess we will continue to foster dogs.
