Anne of Green Gables, penned by Lucy Maud Montgomery, introduces readers to Anne Shirley, a spirited and imaginative orphan mistakenly sent to the Cuthberts, Marilla and Matthew, who had intended to adopt a boy. Despite the initial disappointment, Anne's unique personality, vivid imagination, and knack for finding trouble—and beauty—in everyday life soon win over the hearts of the Cuthberts and the entire community of Avonlea. This beloved classic explores themes of belonging, friendship, first love, and the power of imagination.
