Book Reviews of Anne of Avonlea (Anne of Green Gables)

Book Review: Anne and the Time In-Between...
Summary: 5 Stars

Lucy Maud Montgomery's "Anne of Avonlea" is the superb sequel to "Anne of Green Gables." Red-haired orphan Anne Shirley passes up college to stay with her ailing foster mother Marilla on their farm in the village of Avonlea, Prince Edward Island.

At sixteen, Anne is the new Avonlea schoolmarm, learning just how difficult it might be to inspire young minds and reach stubborn ones. She will begin to write stories in between grading schoolwork. Marilla's decision to adopt two orphaned young twins will add parenting responsibilities for the willing Anne.

Anne still has a vital circle of friends in Avonlea, including best friend Diana Barry, fellow teachers Jane Andrews and Priscilla Grant, and good friend and admirer Gilbert Blythe. Together, they will explore their beautiful island home and take on some youthful improvement projects.

Anne will get a second chance at college. In her last summer before departing, the romantic-minded Anne will help reunite two star-crossed older lovers, but will be shocked when Diana becomes engaged to an amiable but unremarkable man. In a touching final scene, Anne will glimpse her future with the handsome and patient Gilbert, a signal of childhood's end.

On display in this story is Anne's enthusiasm for natural beauty, her delight in many deep friendships, and her growing maturity. "Anne of Avonlea" is very highly recommended to her fans. The cover art features Colleen Dewhurst as Marilla Cuthbert and Megan Follows as Anne from the excellent 1987 Canadian TV production "Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel."

Summary of Anne of Avonlea (Anne of Green Gables)

Young Anne Shirley returns as a 16-year-old teacher at the Avonlea School in this second installment of the Anne of Green Gables series. While performing her duties at Avonlea, she is tutored at home by Gilbert Blythe. Even though Anne has left her childhood behind, the mischievous redhead still finds a way to meddle in the affairs of others and dream about her handsome teacher. Several new characters come into Anne?s world, including two orphans—Davy and Dora—and Anne?s pupil, Paul. Throughout the story, Anne matures, but not without getting into her usual scrapes.
