Book Description

Anne Shirley is all grown-up in this second instalment of the Anne of Green Gables series. Now a responsible teacher at Avonlea School, she is still as spirited and stubborn as ever.

This well-loved story follows Anne as she steps into adulthood. Despite her new responsibilities, her knack for finding herself in tricky predicaments remains as strong as ever. Her new neighbour, the cantankerous Mr Harrison, introduces a host of complications, while the orphaned twins, Davy and Dora, add another layer of delightful chaos to Anne’s life.

Anne’s friendships, particularly with Gilbert Blythe, endure in this novel as their relationship blossoms. Her optimism never wavers as she navigates the challenges and adventures of young adulthood. Join Anne and her trusted circle of friends as they embark on a series of adventures that capture the essence of growing up in Avonlea.
