Anne of West Philly: A Modern Graphic Retelling of Anne of Green Gables | Ivy Noelle Weir
3 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
Anne of Green Gables with a twist: in this follow-up to Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy and The Secret Garden on 81st Street, this full-color graphic novel moves Anne Shirley to modern-day West Philadelphia, where where she finds new friends, new rivals, and a new family. When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert decide to foster a teenage girl for the first time, their lives are changed forever. Their redheaded foster daughter, Anne Shirley, is in search of an exciting life and has decided that West Philly is where she's going to find it. Armed with a big personality and unstoppable creativity, Anne takes her new home by storm as she joins the robotics club, makes new friends in Diana and Gilbert, experiences first love, and turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. But as Anne starts to get comfortable, she discovers one thing she wasn't looking for: a family. This title will be simultaneously available in hardcover.

Enjoyable graphic novel adaptation of Anne of Green Gables! I‘ve visited Philly but am not sure what “West Philly” refers to. Any Philly inhabitants want to enlighten me?

This week on my podcast, Newbery winner Erin Entrada Kelly joins me to discuss ANNE OF WEST PHILLY, a fresh retelling that casts Anne Shirley as a spunky foster kid who develops a passion for coding. We talk about the graphic novel format, girls in STEM, foster care, the challenges of making an apology, race, and a few of our favorite teachable moments from the book. 🌳 listen at the link in my bio!
