When Anne, a spirited, bright-eyed, red-headed orphan, arrives at Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert’s home, the peaceful landscape of Prince Edward Island in Canada will never be the same again. The two elderly siblings expected a boy to help with their farm, but when Anne appears on their doorstep like a delightful surprise, they realize fate has a different plan for them.

After a childhood spent in strangers' homes and orphanages, Anne is grateful to have a home with people who love her ‒ the first real home she’s ever known. From the moment she steps foot on the vast, green property, her vivid imagination and dreamy nature brighten up Green Gables with her fantastical tales about the lake of shining waters, the White Way of Delight, and the blossoming cherry trees.

Soon, it becomes impossible for the people of Prince Edward Island to recall life before this bright little girl walked into their small community and right into their hearts. But as Anne grows older, she must face the complexities of adolescence with all its friendships, rivalries, and complicated feelings. Can she make it without losing the spark in her heart?

Over a century after its publication, L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables continues to charm readers with its unparalleled simplicity, wit, and whimsy. Join Anne Shirley as she invites everyone on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery with valuable lessons about the true meaning of family, love, and forgiveness.
