However when a book at her local library begins leaving her messages she finds herself caught up in a mystery that leads her to a strange land known only as Thea. A place where books are coveted and prized above all else, for in this world a book is capable of holding much more than mere words, a book can be bound to your very soul. However all is not well in Thea, a dark figure stalks the lands, civil unrest is growing and whispers of a long lost treasure known as 'Fateweaver' has many of its inhabitants in uproar.

When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables send for a boy orphan to help them out at their farm, they mistakenly get Anne Shirley, a feisty, independent but warm-hearted 11-year-old girl. Fortunately her sunny nature and quirky imagination win the hearts of her reluctant foster parents and everyone in the community. But not a day goes by without some memorable adventure or prank in the tragicomedy of her life. Early on she accidentally dyes her “cursed” red hair green. Later, in an effort to impress a neighbor she bakes a cake, but with liniment instead of vanilla. Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote that Anne is an extension of herself and represents the independent, “new” woman of the emerging 20th century. Individualistic, resourceful, and of a great humanitarian heart, she remains a great role model for girls and women today.
