From the Acorn Press website:
Six-year-old Elspeth鈥檚 mother has a surprise in store for her daughters. She鈥檚 taking Elspeth and her eleven-year-old sister on a surprise vacation. When she starts reading Anne of Green Gables aloud to the girls, they catch on鈥攖hey鈥檙e going to Prince Edward Island!
Elspeth proudly dons her Anne hat on the ferry, ready to explore the Land of Anne. Although she knows she鈥檚 really visiting Lucy Maud Montgomery鈥檚 house, she feels like she recognizes everything from the books and is thoroughly enchanted. At first devastated that Montgomery鈥檚 first house was torn down by Montgomery鈥檚 uncle, Elspeth sees signs of life鈥攃hipmunks living in the old cellar. Elspeth鈥檚 imagination is ignited. No longer satisfied with pretending to be Anne, Elspeth is instead inspired to become more like Montgomery: famous writer Elspeth of Cavendish, writing about the world she loves.
Summer in the Land of Anne is a celebration of the books we love and all the ways they inspire us.
