The sweet and funny second book in a new early-reader series, starring the spirited and outspoken Anne Shirley as she makes friends and settles into life at Green Gables — with a few hijinks along the way, of course!
Anne is nervous and excited to meet Diana, a neighbor girl who she just knows will be a kindred spirit. She's even more excited when she learns that she's invited to her very first picnic! Until Marilla's precious brooch goes missing and it looks like it's Anne's fault. That is, Marilla is upset and Anne's picnic adventure is now in jeopardy. Ultimately, the misunderstanding with the brooch is resolved and Anne is able to go to the picnic. Anne and Diana's friendship blossoms and Anne's bond with Matthew and Marilla grows stronger.
Lovingly adapted by Kallie George with beautiful nostalgic illustrations by Abigail Halpin, this series is perfect for fans of Anne, new and old.

      Gr 1-3-George presents a second early reader book (after Anne Arrives) based on L.M. Montgomery's timeless tale of friendship Anne of Green Gables. Anne Shirley, a Canadian orphan, is now in the care of siblings Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert and living at Green Gables. Anne meets a neighbor girl, Diana Barry, and the two girls immediately find each other "kindred spirits." Anne is invited to her first Sunday School picnic, but her dream of spending time with her new best friend is dashed when she is accused of stealing Marilla's family heirloom, which leads to misunderstandings and an attempted confession gone awry. George's adaptation embraces the source material and distills it into appropriate content for emergent readers. Longtime fans of the novel will enjoy Anne's flowery language and enthusiastic offerings of friendship, while new readers will commiserate as Anne's picnic opportunity is unfairly threatened. Halpin's watercolor and pencil illustrations complement the text and keep readers in the era of Anne's story with engaging simplicity. VERDICT Early readers will enjoy a gentle introduction to a literary heroine, as well as a relatable tale about friendship.-Casey O'Leary, Mooresville Public Library, IN

      Picking up where Anne Arrives left off (but also understandable on its own), this chapter book relates events from Anne's early days at Green Gables, faithfully but with brief paragraphs and copious white space that should appeal to newly independent readers. Illustrations from spot art to full-bleed spreads convey the rural setting and capture characters' emotions as Anne forms lasting relationships.
