Book Synopsis

Read the sequel to the timeless classic about the beloved Anne Shirley, a red-haired orphan with a fiery spirit, behind the hit Netflix series Anne with an E--now celebrating a hundred years of this children's favorite.

At sixteen Anne is grown up. . . almost. In the years since she arrived at Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of Avonlea and a reputation for getting into scrapes. Anne is no longer the young girl she used to be, but as a teen, her fierce-temper and boundless passion remain steadfast.

But when Anne begins her job as the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins. Anne must learn to be a compassionate teacher while managing her group of mischievous students and acting as a guide to two new rambunctious orphans at Green Gables. As Anne befriends new and old faces alike, she will find herself making unexpected connections--and meddling in the love life of others. But most surprisingly of all, Anne finds that she may even have a romance of her own with a handsome old friend.
