Rainbow Valley, the seventh book in the Anne of Green Gables series explores the world of Anne & Gilbert’s six children along with the exploits of the Merediths, the children of the town’s new minister. With no mother and an absent-minded father, the Meredith children are not being properly brought up. This leads to their many adventures causing the ladies of the town to gossip, risking their father's job. These kind-hearted, but misguided children fumble their way through bringing themselves up, and learn about life and love along the way. Summary by Robin Cotter (8 hr 51 min)

Reviews

The narrator is terrible but the story is wonderful! I wish Karen Savage had narrated this one. She is fantastic.

Though I don't like it as much as the previous books Rainbow Valley is still a fun book. I guess I didn't find the parts that were supposed to be humorous as funny as I did in the other books and events seemed more random. I thought Robin Cotter did quite a good job. Of course it's difficult to top Karen Savage so if you listened to her all the previous books it isn't the same. However, after a few chapters I got used to the change and thought she did a good job, plus I for one really appreciate having just one reader for a book.
Great story

This is a must read!!!!!!!!! I can't tell you how much I love the Anne of green gables series!! One thing is you HAVE to start at the beginning, Anne of green gables then so on to the next book.â¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ð

I've read Rainbow Valley numerous times, but I really enjoyed listening to this narrator's presentation. I've noticed that some other reviewers didn't like her reading. But I appreciated her steady, smooth and slower narration. Many thanks!
great story

such a sweet little story. the narrator was very monotone, but once I got into the story it was easy to overlook.

It was a fun story of children growing up in the Rainbow Valley. The author did a nice job of bringing us through the trials and tribulations of these people. I only disliked just a few technical errors. One of which was the little girl who legs were blue from the cold but yet she ran through slushie mud puddles and snow playing with the other children is if this was not a problem. Physiologically, frostbite tends to occur in those situations; a person can't just get used to it.

I am a fan of L.M. Montgomery; and this book, though different from the previous Anne Books, still was worth the read. The narrator, Robin Cotter, did an excellent job of vocally maintaining the personalities of such a large cast of characters. Her diction was flawless, though there were some mispronounced words. Ms. Cotter must be kind and very feminine, for her most expressive moments were manifest when interpreting female characters with such attributes listed above.
