Anne Dreams

Anne Dreams is the sixth installment in the Anne of Green Gables-inspired series adapted by Kallie George for young readers. As with the other titles in the series, it remains true to the original book's storyline, feel, phrasing, and approach. In this iteration, Anne expresses her conflicting emotions about her hair colour, feeling strongly that red is a less desirable colour, one that often invokes teasing from her classmates. She attempts to dye her hair black, similar to her "best friend and kindred spirit, Diana," but it turns green instead. Marilla has no choice but to cut Anne's hair - and true to Anne's positive spirit, she soon accepts the new look and focuses instead on her studies. This proves to be fruitful as her teacher recommends her for a new program to help students enter teacher's college. Anne passes her exams and prepares to move away from Green Gables, a bittersweet time in her life, although she assures Marilla that she "shall always be [her] Anne of Green Gables, full of dreams." A new adventure awaits Anne at Queen's College.

Anne Dreams, a well-crafted and beautifully written installment in a captivating series, can be enjoyed on its own. Kallie George skillfully summarizes the story and main characters in the early pages, making it accessible to new readers. The writing style is consistent with the other titles and also stays true to the original author, L. M. Montgomery. The illustrations, exquisitely detailed and coloured to perfection, add an old-fashioned feel to the pages, enhancing the reading experience.
