As part of the Gibson Girl Review Reading Challenge theme for the month, to read a "Coming of Age Story," we once again return to the podcast archives to revisit one of the most famous coming-of-age stories of all time. In this conclusion of our review of Kate Douglas Wiggin's 1903 classic, REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM, our hosts finally address the issues of plagiarism surrounding this story and its surprising similarities to an even more famous coming-of-age novel from this time period, L.M. Montgomery's ANNE OF GREEN GABLES.

Are you following along with the Gibson Girl Review Reading Challenge? For this month's theme, "A Coming of Age Story," we're diving into the podcast archives to take another look at one of the most famous coming-of-age stories of all time, REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM. This 1903 classic by Kate Douglas Wiggin is perfectly charming in its own right, but today it is perhaps best known for its controversial similarities to another classic coming-of-age tale. Is it a case of plagiarism? Which one is better? Tune in to this special "Re-Read" episode to join the discussion!

For the first time on this podcast, we are talking about a book that was written in direct response to a book we previously reviewed! Whether or not you're a fans of Henry James' 1878 short story "Daisy Miller," you'll want to tune in to Amy and Jacinta's review of A FAIR BARBARIAN, written in 1880 by Frances Hodgson Burnett as a direct response to Daisy. Plus this month's book has connections to another story from the Gibson Girl archives, so we're making all kinds of historic connections in this all-new episode!
