Abstract
The Rilla of Ingleside Readathon, founded by Andrea McKenzie and Benjamin Lefebvre on March 30th, 2020, began as a response to the first COVID-19 lockdowns. This collection of short illustrated essays captures founding members' responses to Rilla and the sense of community created through reading L.M. Montgomery's novel during that difficult, challenging time.
