*author/illustrator of “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” and “The
Marvels”*
The illustrations are incredible. Like Anne, I wanted to stay in
Green Gables right away, and I loved it even more as the seasons
changed and the years passed. And Anne is such a captivating
character—uncertain but determined, vulnerable but strong, unique
but universal. I finished reading this book and then immediately
read it again.
*cartoonist, “Phoebe & Her Unicorn,” “Ozy & Millie”*
From the first panel, I was enchanted. . . . Thummler's
illustrations are beautiful, inviting, and lovely . . . I read it
in one sitting, and it stayed with me long after. This was a
delight!
