Anne of Green Gables  •  Lucy Maud Montgomery
LITERATURE •  2003 •  PAPER  • 320 PAGES • MIDDLE READERS (Age 9-12)
The immensely popular children's novel set on Prince Edward Island. Anne, an 11-year-old orphan, moves to the small town of Avonlea when she is adopted by an elderly brother and sister. Hoping for a strong young man who can perform chores, the Cuthberts are doubtful at first of how helpful Anne will be. But Anne is a girl of immense spirit, someone who will change the town of Avonlea forever. This classic story continues in seven further books (it sounds like a surfeit of sequels, but fans can't get enough of Anne -- and many of her fans are adults!). (CND39, $4.95)
