"A glitter-fueled disco daydream! Mariko Tamaki captures the
irrepressible, unapologetic enthusiasm of Anne Shirley and delivers
her with sequins and rollerskates to a brand new audience. Anne of
Greenville bubbles over with a defiantly joyful energy!"--Britta
Lundin, author of Ship It and Like Other Girls
"Every page of this glittery disco ball of a book explodes with
imagination, effervescence, and joy -- prepare to find a kindred
spirit in this thoroughly modern Anne Shirley."--Sarah Kuhn, author
of From Little Tokyo, with Love
"I adored Mariko Tamaki's Anne of Greenville, which doesn't shy
away from the harsh realities of being both queer and weird in a
small town, but also embraces so much love and beauty. Joy as an
act of resistance overflows from Anne and her new world. Tamaki
infuses her work with so much humor, nuance, and incredible
generosity for every character, and I will read every single thing
she writes."--Amy Spalding, best-selling author of We Used to Be
Friends
"Delightfully queer, deliciously disco-filled, and decidedly
heartfelt, Anne of Greenville is the coming-of-age novel we need!
My heart's been soaring like it's wearing roller skates ever since
I finished it!"--Jason June, author of Jay's Gay Agenda and Out of
the Blue
