About the Book:

As soon as Anne Shirley arrived at the snug, white farmhouse called Green Gables, she knew she wanted to stay forever...but would the Cuthberts send her back to the orphanage? Anne knows she's not what they expected—a skinny girl with decidedly red hair and a temper to match. If only she could convince them to let her stay, she'd try very hard not to keep rushing headlong into scrapes or blurt out the very first thing she had to say. Anne was not like anybody else, everyone at Green Gables agreed; she was special—a girl with an enormous imagination. This orphan girl dreamed of the day when she could call herself Anne of Green Gables.

  

My Rating & Thoughts:    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was my 2nd time reading the book and while Montgomery has amazing descriptions and writing style as I've visited PEI (and Green Gables itself) since I first read it, I was able to picture the setting so much more this time around. Anne has been through so much when we first meet her as a orphan, and yet she tries to find the beauty in life and lets her imagination carry her away. Sometimes this causes her trouble, but majority of time it helps her. We follow her working hard in school to go on to college, making friends, the trouble she gets into at times, she forgives some and holds a grudge against one. There are some great moments and one really hard moment that made me cry. Each character was unique and I loved so many of them. There are so many great moments and quotes in this book. I can't wait to spend more time in Avonlea with Anne and the rest of these characters.
