"Profound ideas, persuasively fleshed out. L.M. Montgomery would surely have approved."
—WashingtonPost.com
"Wilson cleverly and adroitly portrays the essence of Montgomery's famous red-headed orphan and gives readers a spectacular glimpse of her young years. Highly recommended for YA and adult fiction collections in public and school libraries."
—LibraryJournal.com
"In the world of kidlit, the emergence of the book Before Green Gables is the equivalent of finding the Dead Sea Scrolls. … Today, Wilson's book shows us that, more than we ever thought, Anne deserves to be called a survivor, if not the quintessential Canadian."
—Star Phoenix
"The 'prequel' to one of the world’s most beloved children's stories has big shoes to fill, and it does a good job of filling them."
—The Ottawa Citizen

"All the L.M. Montgomery hallmarks are here … and the
storytelling voice of a child who has rapture of the words.
I had the uncanny feeling that Budge Wilson must have done
some channelling.… Loving and intelligent attention pretty
much describes Wilson's accomplishment, an impressive
addition to the Anne canon."
