by Lucy Maud Montgomery (Author)
Anne Shirley is all grown up-well, almost. And Avonlea will never be the same. At sixteen, the irrepressible red-haired dreamer who captured hearts in Anne of Green Gables has traded her slate and schoolbooks for chalk and a teacher's desk. As the new schoolmistress of Avonlea, Anne faces a classroom full of mischievous students, skeptical parents, and challenges that test even her boundless optimism and imagination. But teaching is only the beginning of Anne's adventures. With her bosom friend Diana by her side and the ever-practical Marilla watching from Green Gables, Anne throws herself into improving her beloved village-organizing a story club, founding the Avonlea Village Improvement Society, and taking in twins who desperately need a home. Along the way, she makes mistakes both hilarious and heartbreaking, from accidentally dyeing a child's skin blue to nearly losing a friendship over wounded pride. As Anne navigates the delicate space between girlhood and womanhood, she discovers that growing up means learning when to hold fast to her dreams and when to let go, when to speak and when to listen, and that the greatest adventures aren't always the ones she imagined. L. M. Montgomery's beloved sequel-a tender, funny, and deeply human portrait of a young woman finding her place in the world. *** The series "Large Print Reader's Choice" features classic books with a font size of at least 16 points.
