Anne of Avonlea

by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Overview

Anne of Green Gables is all grown up--almost. At sixteen, Anne has transformed from student to teacher, and she's the new big sister to seven-year-old twins, quiet Dora and mischievous Davy. A grumpy new neighbor has moved next door, and Anne's best friend, Diana, is falling in love. Despite all these changes, she's still the same fun, impulsive Anne--a romantic dreamer with a redheaded temper.
