But one day she receives a shocking, life-altering letter―and decides then and there that everything needs to change. For the first time in her life, she does exactly what she wants to and says exactly what she feels.
At first her family thinks she's gone around the bend. But soon Valancy discovers more surprises and adventure than she ever thought possible. She also finds her one true love and the real-life version of the Blue Castle that she was sure only existed in her dreams...
A classic coming-of-age story, Anne Shirley is a little orphan girl
who brings the whole town of Avonlea together. Sacrificing her own
desires for the well-being of her new family, Anne comes to learn
that family means more than blood. Matthew Cuthbert is painfully
shy and devoted to his sister, Marilla. The Cuthberts run their
family farm at Green Gables, with neither spouses nor children to
distract them. So when the Cuthberts decide to adopt a child to
help them on the farm, Matthew never imagines that he will forge an
inseparable bond with her, and that she would have such a profound
effect on him. Anne of Green Gables tells the story of little Anne
Shirley as she adapts to a new way of life. Set in the fictional
community of Avonlea, Anne learns to navigate her new
responsibilities on the farm with her adopted parents Mathew and
Marilla. In addition to her farm life, Anne quickly makes friends
at school, having no trouble expressing her ambitions and wild
imagination in the classroom. With a big personality and an
eagerness to please, Anne's exuberant spirit livens up the
community at Green Gables. Making life-long friendships with her
closest pal Diana Barry, and instant hatred of Gilbert Blythe, who
teases Anne about her wild red hair, Anne's life in Avonlea is
everything she ever hoped it would be. With a professionally
type-set manuscript and an eye-catching new cover, this edition of
Anne of Green Gables is both modern and readable.

friendships with local children: Teddy Kent, Ilse Burnley and Perry
Miller. They each have distinct personalities and gifts that make
Emily's stay more enjoyable. Together, they engage in various
adventures, while navigating their respective home lives. Following
