Anne of Green Gables
Anne Shirley has red hair, a temper that flares at the slightest injustice, and an imagination so vast it transforms everything it touches. When she arrives at Green Gables, a farm on Canada's Prince Edward Island, she expects to be sent back to the orphanage at any moment. The Cuthberts wanted a boy to help with the farm. Instead they got a skinny eleven-year-old who talks to her reflection, names every tree and path, and turns every mistake into an adventure. What follows is the story of Anne convincing the Cuthberts to let her stay, and of a prickly, generous, wildly imaginative girl becoming the heart of a small community. She battles with her best friend Diana, outwits pompous schoolboys, turns the countryside into a kingdom of her own making, and learns that home is not a place you earn but a people who choose you. More than a century later, Anne endures because Montgomery understood something essential: the pain of feeling unlovable, and the redemptive power of being truly seen.
