Loved by generations of readers around the world Anne Shirley has a tendency to stir up controversy wherever she goes. And her new position as principal of Summerside High School is no exception. The Pringles, the ruling family in town, want one of their own in the job, and they’ve made it their mission to drive Annie out. As Anne settles into her tower room at Windy Poplars with the widows Aunt … the widows Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty, she finds she has more allies than she knows. And letters from her dear Gilbert Blythe help her remember that with a little bit of imagination, she can triumph over anything…
Through Anne’s eyes, the ordinary world becomes magical and every day is an adventure. It’s no surprise she is a favorite of everyone from Mark Twain to Duchess Kate.
This new edition lovingly restores the original, unabridged text and includes an all-new, exclusive introduction with special memories from L.M. Montgomery’s granddaughter.

This book felt like a way station on the way to the rest of Anne’s life. Maybe that was intentional, but I didn’t feel very present with the story or the characters. And much of the book felt very repetitive, both to itself and to the rest of the series so far, like a rinse and repeat with only the names and locations changed.
I really …
Despite what others have said, I enjoyed this novel!
Was it a tad bit tedious at times? Yes, but I still loved reading about our Anne. I do wish that there was more of Gilbert in the novel, however the rest of the series is all about their lives together, so I don’t begrudge Anne’s adventures in this one at all.
I have no idea why some people said …
Though I am enjoying reading this series, I am baffled by the seemingly lack of maturity of so many of the adult characters.
There are a bunch of characters introduced in this one. It’s almost to the point of being too many.
