Anne of Avonlea (Anne of Green Gables, Virago Modern Classics)

Five years ago, a skinny, unwanted orphan arrived at Avonlea without a friend in the world; now it would be impossible to imagine Green Gables without Anne. Her high spirits and warm heart have won her a family and friends who love her. But when Anne starts a new 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?
