Who is YOUR Anne? Join ten of Canada’s top young adult fiction writers as they set Canada’s favourite red-haired orphan, Anne Shirley, on brand new adventures. With its futuristic settings, cybernetic beings, ghosts, mysterious books and boxes, and racial and sexual diversity in its cast of characters, The ANNEthology offers serious “scope for the imagination” for all readers. 2024 marks the 150th anniversary of L.M. Montgomery’s birth and the 30th anniversary of Acorn Press, Prince Edward Island’s longest-running traditional publishing house. What better way to celebrate these milestones than publishing a collection of stories inspired by the Island’s (and one of Canada’s) most beloved authors? Sure to include something for everyone, this is a must-have collection for Anne of Green Gables fans.

Judith Graves is an award-winning young adult fiction writer (Exposed and Infiltrate: Retribution Series, Orca Book Publishers), as well as a screenwriter and illustrator. A Tale of Two Kitties, her debut picture book, was published by Acorn Press. A firm believer that fiction can be action-packed, sassy, and yet hit the right emotional notes, Judith writes stories with attitude. As a child, Judith lived in Summerside when her father was in the Forces. It was a sad day when he was posted and the family moved to Alberta. She may have convinced her husband to have an Anne of Green Gables themed wedding. The Island kept calling to Judith, and now, many years later, she's back and thrilled to be living in Summerside with her husband and sassy fur babies.
