Anne of Green Gables
Anne is a lively eleven-year-old orphan who must win over the Cuthberts (Matthew and his sister Marilla)
who have requested a boy from the orphanage to help Matthew with the farm chores. Her endearing
idealism proves too hard to resist--even for the rather stern pair. Anne's enthusiasm and determination
are not always appreciated by those around her, but she learns from her experiences and never makes the
same mistake twice. Into her teens, Anne continues to challenge the rules that try to curb her
indomitable spirit, and she is rarely defeated.
