Product Description

At sixteen, Anne is grown up...almost. Her gray eyes shine like the evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. 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. But when Anne begins her job as the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins. Along with teaching the three Rs, she is learning how complicated life can be when she meddles in someone else's romance, finds two new orphans at Green Gables, and wonders about the strange behavior of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne enters womanhood, her adventures touch the heart and the funny bone. 145 pages

Publisher's Description

BY A REMARKABLE CANADIAN WRITER. NOW A NETFLIX SERIES.

'Anne Shirley is, for me, one of the great characters of literature' LAUREN CHILD

'The grandmother of the YA/adult crossover novel' JEAN HANNAH EDELSTEIN, GUARDIAN

'The dearest, most moving and delightful child since the immortal Alice' MARK TWAIN

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?
