Anne of Avonlea by Lucy Maud Montgomery

 


At sixteen, Anne is grown up...almost. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. In the years since she arrived at Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of Avonlea and a reputation for getting into scrapes. But when Anne begins her job as the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins. Along with teaching the three Rs, she is learning how complicated life can be when she meddles in someone else's romance, finds two new orphans at Green Gables, and wonders about the strange behavior of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne enters womanhood, her adventures touch the heart and the funny bone. 


While this book is also a classis I realized that most of this story was not in the movie. I had totally forgotten about the twins in this story and how she helps Marilla bring them up and how she influences them, especially Davy. It was fun listening to her adventures and how she continues to grow and also with her relationships around her.
