Anne of Avonlea

Anne of Avonlea, by L.M. Montgomery, 304 pages

In this second book in the Anne of Green Gables series, Anne is now a little older, but still the mischievous redhead with big ideas.  She's teaching in Avonlea, and helping Marilla with the two twin orphans they have taken in- and one of them is definitely a handful.  She's also cleaning up the town and making love connections along the way.  I read these as a kid and loved them; they aren't quite as interesting now, but they're still good- they are very wholesome and innocent and interesting to read as a product of a completely different time.
