"Anne of Avonlea" by L.M. Montgomery is the sequel to "Anne of Green Gables." Now sixteen, Anne Shirley begins her career as a village schoolteacher, sacrificing her college dreams to stay home and support Marilla, whose eyesight is failing. Marilla adopts mischievous twins Dora and Davy, bringing chaos and joy to Green Gables. Anne joins the Avonlea Village Improvement Society, attempts to beautify the town with humorous results, and befriends eccentric neighbors like Mr. Harrison. Through her students, including the imaginative Paul Irving, Anne matures gracefully, learning valuable lessons about love, responsibility, and the quiet beauty of community life.
