The sixth and final book in an early illustrated chapter book series inspired by Anne of Green Gables, starring the spirited Anne Shirley as she pursues her dream of becoming a teacher. Anne is starting to grow up, but she's still disappointed with her red hair -- it's one of her lifelong sorrows. One day, she buys a bottle of hair dye in order to have raven black hair like her best friend and kindred spirit, Diana. Unfortunately, the dye ends up turning her hair green This upset causes Anne to start focusing on improving herself inside, rather than her looks . . . and leads to a new dream taking shape: Anne wanting to become a teacher She joins a club for students studying to get into Queen's College. But can Anne overcome her fear of failing? And how can she study hard when pesky Gilbert is distracting her? Lovingly adapted by Kallie George with beautiful nostalgic illustrations by Abigail Halpin, this series is perfect for fans of Anne, new and old.
This was a quick feel-good read that I enjoyed much like the very first Anne book I read as a kid. :)
Anne Dreams is set during Anne's high school and college years, and holds true to the original story.
The illustrations were different from other versions I've seen, and were beautifully feminine and lovely. Kudos to the artist, Abigail Halpin on a job well done!
Anne Dreams was a story I loved, and I'd recommend for any young reader.
I received a complimentary e-book from Tundra Book Group to review through Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review, and the thoughts above are my own.
