As soon as I heard Heather Fawcett (wonderful local BC author) was coming out with a fantasy retelling of my favourite Canadian classic “Anne of Green Gables” , I knew I had to have it. First of all Fawcett is an amazing writer and I would auto buy anything she writes. “The Grace of Wild Things” is heartfelt and beautiful and pays such a dear tribute to the source material you know LM Montgomery would smile while reading it. Fawcett made some adjustment to the original (love that she made the Diana character more sassy and strong willed) but you could just feel the author’s deep love for the book. You could tell which character was which just by Fawcett’s lyrical writing alone. It is heartwarming and beautifully written with thought and care to the original Other than the Megan Follows movie, this is my favourite adaptation.

4 stars.
A cute found family story about a talkative but lonely young orphan girl and a angry witch that slowly but surely grows fond of her. I really enjoyed reading it.
