This was very cute! At first I worried they were sticking too close to the book in a way that felt weird in a modern setting (Rachel Lynde dressing down Anne right in front of her when they meet felt a little strange in a contemporary plot) but it really found its feet once Anne starts going to school. I love Anne of Green Gables but it does feel a little arduous to read as an adult because it’s just one unjust calamity after the next for her, and she often suffers consequences that feel too harsh to a modern reader. This is a good update in that it stays true to that spirit of getting into childhood scrapes but there’s the comfort of a much more emotionally supportive home/school context.

I really liked this retelling of one of my favorite children’s books. I pretty much like anything Anne of Green Gables. Making this a queer story really works with how Anne always sees herself as an outsider. Great graphic depiction of Matthew and Marillia.
