Anne Shirley, the freckle-faced, hot-tempered girl who arrived at Green Gables as an orphan, is almost 100 years old
Yet every year she wins the hearts of more and more fans around the world. This collection of puzzles is designed especially for the readers of L. M. Montgomery's wonderful book about Anne and her topsy-turvy life on Prince Edward Island.
The 50 puzzles touch every part of Anne's life at Green Gables: the people who fill her world, the scrapes she gets into, the outlandish things she says. Included are crosswords, which range from easy to difficult. There are also word searches, with solutions that hold secret messages. Some puzzles-called match-ups-require matching names in the first column with statements in the second column. Others require simple decoding skills in order to come up with a famous Anne quotation from the book. This is a puzzle book packed full of brain-teasing challenges for all ages.
