[.ca] Anne of Avonlea (ISBN 9626341696)

Wonderful:
If you like Anne of Green Gables in any way, you have to read the other books in order to see her grow up. She stills continue to get in trouble, romance with Gilbert continues, just about anything that can happen, happens. These books fulfill everything that you could ever want out of a book.

I love the stories:
The stories of Anne as a teacher and Anne practicing parenting skills on the twins are wonderful and funny. Anne may be almost grown up, but she hasn't lost her touch for spirit!

Beautiful Sequel:
This is just a wonderful sequel to Anne of Green Gables. It deals with Anne's life after returning to Avonlea to teach and before she goes off to college. Seeing Anne begin to come into adulthood is exciting and yet a little sad. It is exciting to see her deal with the new challenges from being a school teacher and inspiring her students to starting the Avonlea Village Improvement Society (to which there is some resistance from the Avonlea elders at first). Anne is still of course a kindred spirit, but it seems that she is mellowing as she matures (which was is just a touch sad, but as Mr. Henderson says, all things must change). For anyone who liked the first book, this is sure to not disappoint.

Anne of Avonlea:
I really enjoyed this book. Anne is a teenager becoming a young lady and she undergoes many changes and her experiences are funny and meaningful to her. I would reccomend this book to people who enjoy great books wuth a sense of humor.

A good classic:
LM Montgomery had a great ability to write stories that made us laugh, cry, and tug at our heart strings. Both Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea are books i bought, and will give to my children to read when they are old enough to appreciate them. I never read them as a child. I wasn't even introduced to them until I was planning a vacation to Prince Edward Island three years ago, and I read the first book. I also watched the movies which were both such wonderful adaptations. Anne of Avonlea picks up where the first one left off. Anne, who I think is the best female fictional character I've ever had the priviledge to read of, is now a teacher. She is growing up, but she still has her adventures with Diana, and her other friends. There are a few new characters are introduced, and although you don't instantly fall in love with them like Ann, they grow you. All but Davey, this character was just so annoying. THis boy was just a bad apple. I'm sure LM had good intentions, but I was utterly annoyed and it brought my feeling of the book down a bit. IF you loved the first book, you will probably enjoy this as well. There is a long series of books by LM. I am currently on break from reading her. She was a great writer, able to bring a great deal of sense of humor in her storytelling, and she is very descriptive. She really brings the characters so true to life, especially Anne. I do recommend this despite my problem w/ davey. Anne will always remain forever in my heart as a true heroine of classic literature. One of the best character to ever be put on paper..as she is kind, funny, good spirited, and what an imagination!
