I love, love this book. Anne is a spunky and charming orphan girl who is taken in by Mathew and Marilla Cuthbert to help around the house, because they are getting too old. Anne is fortunate to move from her orphanage because the Cuthbert's were actually looking for a young boy to come help out. Through many funny and unfortunate events, Anne makes herself known to the people of this town, and befriends Diana Barry. One day while Diana is playing at Anne's, she accidently offers her guest wine instead of juice and gets Diana drunk! This makes her mother very angry and Anne is only forgiven when an event occurs where she saves Diana's younger sister from dying. Anne also makes friends and kind of enemies with a boy named Gilbert, and they both attend Queen's Academy becoming closer and closer throughout. After school Anne is offered a four year scholorship but must deny it because Marilla is becoming blind and has to stay in Green Gables and teach. Anne is happy and content as a teacher and will continue her life optomistic for the future.
