Description
Gracie Finley and Glenda Landry, two young girls from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, both dream of being on stage. This is in the 1960s, just as the Confederation Centre of the Arts opens its doors in their hometown. Gracie and Glenda soon join the new theatre's company of actors and become best friends. To the delight of audiences, they take on the roles of kindred spirits Anne and Diana in the marvelous musical inspired by the novel Anne of Green Gables.
Also available in French.
About the authors
Michel Bourque grew up in Cocagne, New Brunswick and lives in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. He has written English and French adaptations of children's books like A Blue so Blue (Jean Francois Dumont, Prix Saint-Exupery) and Les vacances de Claire (Maxine Trottier and Rajka Kupesic, Mr. Christie's Book Award). Michel is one of the lucky few who caught Gracie Finley and Glenda Landry's brilliant performances as Anne and Diana in the musical staging of the classic novel.
Jean-Luc Trudel, from Québec, began illustrating after many detours: stained glass artist, printer, graphic designer... He has drawn magnificent illustrations for Bouton d'or Acadie, including the books Le pit à papa, Mémére Soleil, Nannie Lune, Meet Me at Green Gables, Un bisou coquelicot, and Tommy Tempête, his most recent work, written by Audrey Long, was the winner of the 2023 Champlain Award (youth category).
