This book is about Anne Shirley, a young 11 year old orphan. She is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert of Green Gables, a middle-aged brother and sister who had wanted to adopt a boy to help them on their farm. Anne is a bright, quick, talkative, and extremely imaginative young girl. She is a pale, freckled, and red head, who is always eager to please. Marilla takes care of Anne, and feels that she could be a good influence on Anne. Anne is also very adventurous and has an imagination of child. Anne's best friend is Diana Barry. Anne runs into all kinds of mischief on the farm. She creates relationships with all who she comes in contact with.
I would rate this book an ESSENTIAL. I enjoyed this book and felt that it is well written. Students could find interest in the adventures and also with the relationships that Anne creates on the farm. Because this book's setting was in the early 1900's, students will understand the differences in how others lived in that time period. Students will also be able to compare the struggles that these people went through; compared to the everyday struggles that we face in today's society.
I would use this book as an enjoyable book for students. This book could also be used when talking about different timelines in history. I think it would be a great idea to included books for students to read that go along with different periods in history. Students would be able to choose which book they would like to read during the early 1900's, and Anne of Green Gables would be an option. Because the protagonist is written from a student age perspective, students would be able to relate to Anne.

ESSENTIAL: It would be beneficial if the school library had at least one copy of this book. This is a book that students could find interest in, and also serves an educational purpose. This book may be challenging for the students, but it will help them grow academically and help them improve their education skills.
ADVISABLE: 'ESSESNTIAL' books are the most important and these books are next on the important list. These books are still beneficial to the students and could also be a popular genre, but it may lack in in the substance for educational purposes. The education purpose would focus more on students reading and comprehension, whereas an advisable book would be more for the enjoyment.
OPTIONAL: Books are interesting for the teachers and would follow the curriculum. This book would not support the students and their growth as readers. These books would help provide students with a variety of options, but they are not common or the most popular books.
NOT RECOMMENDED: These books would not be appropriate. The writing, theme, or plot should not be supported.
