L. M. Montgomery’s novel Anne of Green Gables recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan mistakenly sent to a pair of siblings who intended to adopt a boy to help work on their farm in Prince Edward Island. Yet Anne’s quirky personality and good-natured spirit causes the siblings to grow to love her anyway, and soon the entire town falls for the precocious little girl with bright red hair.
Cherished by both children and adults, Anne of Green Gables is a celebration of fierce individualism, and the families we create, rather than the ones we are born into. This Deluxe edition is enhanced with a foreword by bestselling author J. Courtney Sullivan, and an introduction and suggestions for further reading by Benjamin Lefebvre, as well as a selection of early writing by L. M. Montgomery about the process of writing Anne.
Anne Shirley siempre ha soñado con ser escritora y, aunque nadie lo sepa, lo es: online, la conocen como Lady Cordelia y sus fanfics sobre El caballero del espejo, una serie de televisión sobre leyendas artúricas, son de los más aclamados por el fandom. Solo Diana, su mejor amiga, artista y colaboradora, conoce su secreto.
Al menos hasta que aparece Blythe, un nuevo autor de fanfiction que no tarda en superar el récord de lecturas de Anne y que, para colmo, no tiene ningún reparo en mostrar su verdadera identidad. Gilbert Blythe es tan encantador como irritante, y desafiará a Anne a enfrentarse a sus inseguridades y a sus sentimientos, tanto por él como por su amiga Diana.
Donovan didn't mean for this to happen. When he left his book on the counter, he didn't think he mom would read it—much less have a problem with it. It's just an adventure novel! ...Right?
But before Donovan even has the chance to hear her point of view, his mom is calling other parents of his classmates. She's setting up meetings with the principal. She's trying to get the book removed from the district curriculum.
Donovan doesn't really know if the two boys fall in love at the end or not—but he does know this: even if they do, the book shouldn't be banned from school.
Interspersed with this thread, readers will experience chapters of the banned book itself—and the coming out and first love story of its author. With epic feelings and his signature panache, David Levithan delivers a brilliantly crafted story of three kids standing at crossroads. What do you do when you disagree with the adults calling the shots? How do you raise your voice and fight back?
