merelybookish @ShelleyBooksie You're the second person whose told me that! 2d
merelybookish @TheLudicReader Maybe "classic" is a bit strong! But some people do remember it with fondness! 2d

Again I won‘t use a brothers Grimm book in the classroom even with other child because they are very dark book. However there are kid friendly versions of this story out there but the story is still pretty dark.

this book was very interesting and I really enjoyed it. I got this one from the library and it wasn't quite what I thought it was. It is different than the copy I have at home as it's more kid friendly. however I still don't know if I would have it in my classroom

This witchy retelling of Anne of Green Gables is utterly charming and stars Grace, an orphan who must complete a grimoire full of spells to become the witch of the wood‘s apprentice…or lose her magic. I loved the culturally diverse cast of characters, the magical twists on the classic story, and that more readers will encounter one of my favorite characters in literature! Highly recommended for fans of Netflix‘s Anne with an E, of course!

This wasn't bad. It didn't feel much like a retelling of Anne of Green Gables though, and the similarities felt more like a distraction than an integral part of the plot. I liked Grace and Sareena. I think I would like to try another of Fawcett's books, one that isn't a retelling.

BarbaraJean I felt much the same. I liked that it didn‘t feel a lot like an AoGG retelling, just with a similar character and some parallels. But there were several moments that felt forced into an Anne mold that they didn‘t really fit! (edited) 1y
