Anne of Avonlea is the second book from the cycle about Anne Shirley, written by a Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery. The life does not stand still. After spring comes summer, and after childhood comes adolescence. The characters of the Anne of Green Gables series, the dreamer Anne Shirley and her faithful friends, grow up together with the readers. It is a sequel to the novel about the life of a grown-up and well-loved by the readers charming heroine.

At sixteen Anne is grown up…almost. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. In the years since she arrived at Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of Avonlea and a reputation for getting into scrapes. But when Anne begins her job a the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins. Along with teaching the three Rs, she is learning how complicated life can be when she meddles in someone else’s romance, finds two orphans at Green Gables, and wonders about the strange behaviour of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne enters womanhood, her adventures touch the heart and the funny bone.
