Anne of Green Gables with a twist: this full-color graphic novel moves Anne Shirley to modern-day West Philadelphia, where where she finds new friends, new rivals, and a new family.

When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert decide to foster a teenage girl for the first time, their lives are changed forever. Their redheaded foster daughter, Anne Shirley, is in search of an exciting life and has decided that West Philly is where she's going to find it.

Armed with a big personality and unstoppable creativity, Anne takes her new home by storm as she joins the robotics club, makes new friends in Diana and Gilbert, experiences first love, and turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. But as Anne starts to get comfortable, she discovers one thing she wasn't looking for: a family.

Daniel Z. ★★★★★ Aug 22, 2026

The modern Philly setting is such a clever shift, and seeing Anne land in a city I actually know made the story hit way harder. The full-color panels keep the pace brisk, but I still got all the feels from her finding a new family with Marilla and Matthew.

Claire G. ★★★★★ Aug 21, 2026

The full-color artwork really brings out the contrast between Anne's fiery personality and the Philly backdrop, and I loved how the modern setting kept her classic charm intact. It's a quick, engaging read that made me smile more than once.

I blew through this in one sitting — the full-color artwork makes Anne's new world pop, and seeing her land in West Philly with Marilla and Matthew feels surprisingly fresh. The graphic novel format keeps the story snappy without losing that classic charm.
