Anne of Green Gables

 Anne of Green Gables is a series I've never read before, but a set of movies that I loved. 

Anne is an orphan who is sent to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. Anne is known for her imagination, which throws the Cuthbert siblings for a loop. Always talking and getting lost in thought. Learning to live with this adventurous, airheaded, proud, red head has become they have ever had. 

It is a very simple and straightforward book. Not some grand adventure but the adventure of everyday life for a very imaginative girl. Dealing with school, friends, constant misunderstandings, and bitter rivals with boys are the plot of the book. 

The book is mostly about characters. Becoming friends with Diana, rivals with Gilbert, Matthew and Marilla. They are the moments she has with the people around her. 

This books a light and full of character. I very much love it. 

The "Anne of Green Gables" movie with Meagan Fallows is the best. They are the most accurate to the book. Meagan is a fantastic Anne who makes her endearing as well as accurate to the book. "Anne with an 'E'" is no such representation. I very much dislike that one and could only watch a few episodes before I very willingly put it down. 

Emiline, Knight in Training

Another book about Dyslexia.

Emiline is a knight in training, where she has problems reading, they move and are hard to read and understand. But she is a knight and there is more to her life and duties than just reading. She helps "tame" ogres and saves dragons eggs and helps her friends when they are in trouble. She does take the time to practice reading and because she is dedicated and asks for help, she's able to know when something bad is going to happen, she's also able to help her friends and teacher.

This is a very short book, something good for those who struggle reading wouldn't find hard or intimidating, that might give an extra bust in wanting to read and that it takes dedication to get things done. But that facing the challenge can be worth it and can help others.

It is a very cheesy book though, where anyone who isn't having these difficulties wouldn't like it as much as others. (But then again, I have a hard time reading very young books. I don't care for "dangerously cheesy" books.)
