anne of green gables turned 100 this year,
newsweek told me.
they also told me about the huge tourism surrounding this fictitious character and prince edward island...where i now want to visit along with her fanatic japanese following
my mom was always getting us to read about smart girls-true confessions of charlotte doyle, nancy drew, harriet the spy, bridge to terebithia, walk two moons-even ramona quimby- but then i started reading about holden and harry and hatchet.the article said, "It's rare to find a best seller with a strong heroine anymore, in large part because, although girls will read books about boys, boys won't go near a girl's book, no matter how cool she is..."
kind of sad-but this is turning to a rant, so happy birthday ms. anne of avonlea
