Anne of Avonlea - L.M. Montgomery - Bookniverse

Can a young teacher with big dreams survive a classroom full of mischievous pupils? At sixteen, high-spirited Anne becomes the new schoolmistress of Avonlea. Vowing to teach with love rather than harsh rules, she faces hilarious disasters, chaotic projects, and a pair of energetic orphaned twins at Green Gables. Balancing responsibilities with her imagination, she discovers the true meaning of growing up.****************************The mind behind this story was Lucy Maud Montgomery, born in Canada, in 1874. Raised by her strict grandparents in a rural community, Montgomery spent a lonely childhood finding comfort in the stunning natural landscapes, her own wild imagination, and writing poetry. Like her famous heroine, she worked as a schoolteacher in various island villages. Published in 1909, Anne of Avonlea established Montgomery as one of the most beloved authors in children's literature.
