Description: "Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out? It makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world!"
When a spirited and imaginative 11-year-old orphan named Anne moves to Avonlea, she can't wait to see the home she's always dreamed of. And it's perfect! Green Gables is a beautiful farmhouse, set among the spring flowers of Prince Edward Island. But Anne quickly realizes her dream is too good to be true. There has been a terrible mistake and her new family-- gentle Matthew and his stern sister Marilla-- were expecting someone quite different. With her cheer, her imagination, and even her mischievousness, Anne is a welcome breath of fresh air in Avonlea . . . but will she succeed in enchanting Matthew and Marilla? One thing's for sure-- there is never a dull moment when Anne is around!Review Quotes: "Absolutely add this to your library shelves and recommend it at every opportunity.
