Anne of Green Gables - Paperback

by LM Montgomery (Author)

No one wants Anne Shirley.

Since her parents died when she was a baby, she's been moved from place to place, raised by people who didn't care a thing about her. The eleven years of neglect and indifference were bearable thanks to the imaginary places and friends she envisioned. Even her red hair and freckles don't bother her so much when she replaces them with velvety purple eyes and raven tresses.

Thank goodness she has an imagination.

When the mistress of the children's home where she lives tells her she's chosen for adoption, Anne sees a bright light of hope in her dreary little world. From the moment she sets foot on Prince Edward Island and begins the dreams-come-true drive with Matthew Cuthbert to his home of Green Gables, she falls in love with everything. Finally, she's found the place where she belongs.

It's just too bad she isn't a boy.
