The 12-year-old actor read Anne of Green Gables as part of her private school curriculum, and is a big fan of the book. Taking in a performance of the musical at the Confederation Centre of the Arts Wednesday was one of the highlights of her visit.

The Confederation Centre invited Breslin to the Island when they heard how much she loved the book. Tourism PEI flew Breslin, her mother and a 12-year-old cousin to P.E.I. from New York, at a cost of about $4,000. Dalvay by the Sea provided complimentary accommodation.

In return, Breslin said she will mention P.E.I. The Confederation Centre will use her glowing comments about the musical in promotional materials.

The provincial government described celebrity endorsements such as Breslin's as valuable.

Breslin is currently starring in Kit Kittredge, An American Girl.
