Synopsis

The second book in the Anne Shirley series.

'Having adventures comes natural to some people,' said Anne serenely. 'You just have a gift for them or you haven't.'

Five years ago, Anne arrived at Avonlea a skinny orphan without a friend in the world; now it would be impossible to imagine Green Gables without her. Anne's high spirits and warm heart have won her a family and friends who love her. But when she starts a job as a teacher at her old school, the real test of her character begins: at 'half past sixteen', she's not much older than her pupils and has a lot to prove. How can she inspire a love of learning in young minds - especially when some of her students are even naughtier than she ever was?

From the Inside Flap:

The Girl from Green Gables

It seemed  only yesterday that the skinny, freckle-faced redhead  had first come to the island. Now here was Anne,  teaching at the Avonlea school, sixteen, pretty,  and all grown up. Well, not quite grown up. In fact,  Anne was not very different from her restless  young pupils -- mischievous and spirited as ever and  headed for hilarious predicaments with a cranky new  neighbor, a hungry Jersey cow, a parrot with an  embarrassing vocabulary, and a truly  dreadful mistake!

The Anne Books  

Delightful, unpredictable Anne Shirley has  been charming readers of all ages, in every part of  the world, for over three-quarters of a century.  Bestsellers from the moment they were published,  the Anne Of Green Gables novels  have allowed generations of children to grow up  right along with Anne.
