Anne of Avonlea

An Apple Books Classic edition.

Readers first met Anne Shirley as a freckled 11-year-old orphan who arrived in Green Gables instead of the boy the farming family had asked for. Despite—or perhaps because of—Anne’s penchant for telling tales and breaking social norms, she quickly won the hearts of everyone in her new hometown of Avonlea…including her new family.

In the second book in L.M. Montgomery’s timeless series, the always-spunky Anne turns 16 and starts working as Avonlea’s schoolteacher. When she discovers two orphans in need of a home, Anne throws herself into helping her neighbors while navigating mishaps and her feelings for Gilbert Blythe. It’s exactly the stuff that’s made millions fall in love with Anne of Green Gables.
