Anne Shirley!

My Rating: 5/5 Review: I loved the book as much as the mini-series, though it was quite different. Anne Shirley has always been one of my favorite characters, and her story is just so much fun to read. You just never know what kind of mischief she's liable to get into. The scenery is also lovely, and it truly makes me want to travel to Prince Edward Island someday. Book Description: Everyone's favorite redhead, the spunky Anne Shirley, begins her adventures at Green Gables, a farm outside Avonlea, Prince Edward Island. When the freckled girl realizes that the elderly Cuthberts wanted to adopt a boy instead, she begins to try to win them and, consequently, the reader, over.

Pollyanna

My Rating: 3/5 Review: It was very different from the movie, and I didn't like how the characters spoke, but it was enjoyable. Book Description: When orphaned 11-year-old Pollyanna comes to live with austere and wealthy Aunt Polly, her philosophy of gladness brings happiness to her aunt and other members of the community.
