    L. M. Montgomery

    L. M. (Lucy Maud) Montgomery (1874-1942) was a Canadian author who published 20 novels and hundreds of short stories, poems, and essays. She is best known for the Anne of Green Gables series. Montgomery was born in Clifton (now New London) on Prince Edward Island on November 30, 1874. Raised by her maternal grandparents, she grew up in relative isolation and loneliness, developing her creativity with imaginary friends and dreaming of becoming a published writer. Her first book, Anne of Green Gables, was published in 1908 and was an immediate success, establishing Montgomery's career as a writer, which she continued for the remainder of her life.

      Anne is a "grown-up woman of 16". She is now a teacher. Yet she retains her sense of wonder and her amazing imagination. She enjoys teaching. She meets new "kindred spirits". And works to improve Avoanlea. A lovely, sweet book.
    • 4/5
      Reading this book was like meeting up with an old friend to share what's been happening since you last saw each other.Anne spends 2 years teaching school and we get to see how she grows and changes (along with all the changes around her) without ever truly losing her innocence or positive aspect. Love, Romance, and the sense of wonder continues to spin about her as she sets her sights on the future which leads into the third volume.A relaxing and enjoyable visit to Avonlea.
    • 3/5
      I read (listened) to this Anne of Green Gables sequel for the first time. It picks up where the first book left off. Anne is still getting into scrapes but all bearing a lot of responsibility for a 16-17 year old. Not only is she teacher at the local school but she's helping Marilla raise two more orphan kids, Davy and Dora. Davy with his willful mischievousness kind of takes over as chief troublemaker with Anne cheerfully trying to reign him in. There's also a new neighbor Mr Harrison both curmudgeonly and scandalous and always entertaining. This book seems more episodic than the previous one, but I'm still looking forward to reading more. I'm a kindred spirit.
    • 4/5
      Anne has big dreams for how she will teach her new class, but the bigger question is whether it's possible to follow them. Can she win the love and affection of all her students the traditional way? Meanwhile she's planning improvements for Avonlea and wondering just how she feels about Gilbert after all. She has new friends and at the end is wondering the same question of the last book- should she go away to college?
    • 3/5
      I was completely prepared to adore this book, but I just didn't. I feel like nothing happened, which is probably why hardly any of this made the cut for the Anne of Avonlea movie. I'm still going to finish the series, and I still love Anne, but this was disappointing. Borrow it?
    • 4/5
      Kind of a charming story, and Anne isn't too bad, but the main reason I read these is for the lovely imagery and descriptions, idealized setting, and romantic imagination of the author.
    • 3/5
      Uggh, Davy and Dora suck. Especially Davy.
    • 5/5
      Watching Anne grow up by degrees, I understand it better now than I would have if I'd finished reading this book the first time I started it, a good many years ago. I appreciate the beauty of it now, as well as the way Montgomery, as usual, takes you directly to Avonlea and Prince Edward Island, with all of its seasons and charms. Splendid imagery!
    • 4/5
      This sequel to Anne of Green Gables finds Anne learning the ropes as a school teacher and Green Gables inhabiting some little people. As Anne remains bestfriends with Diana, new friendships blossom with old and new neighbors. And - Anne's dreaming never ceases.I found this sequel to be a little less enjoyable than the first. I like Anne and the rest of the characters and will eventually continue with the series, but I wasn't drawn to her as I was before. Maybe it's because she's growing up and acting more mature while I was anticipating more of the younger Anne - I don't know, she did have some impulsive moments. Anyway, I'll be more prepared for the next book. (3.75/5)Originally posted on: "Thoughts of Joy..."
    • 5/5
      Continuing the tale of Anne and the people of Avonlea. At 16, Anne and her girlfriends were done school and certified to be teachers in the communities on the island. Anne continues with her fanciful ways, Marilla has taken in twins - a docile girl and spirited Davy. And Anne meets Miss Lavender, who was once engaged to a pupil's father. He's now widowed, sent his son back to PEI to be cared for by Grandma & finds out that Miss Lavender is still single - so romance happens for that lucky couple. The book ends with Anne and Gilbert preparing to leave for college.
    • 5/5
      Ahh Anne! Anne of Avonlea is one of my favorites of all time. And yes, I can honestly say that I like it even better than Green Gables. By the time you get to the second novel, Anne is growing out of her bratty stage and growing up. And there's Gilbert! The early relationship between Anne and Gilbert is wonderfully typical of the boy and girl next door, with all of the teasing and tension! I love it! I seriously think Gilbert was one of my first crushes!!!
    • 5/5
      There are some lovely passages in this book about the influence Anne unconsciously has on those around her. I always find them inspiring and resolve to live truer to my ideals. There's plenty of laughs - Davy in particular stands out with such frank mischievousness. Anne, as always, is delightful.
    • 5/5
      A delightful, calm and gentle read, Anne of Avonlea is a continuation of Anne Shirley's scrapes and adventures. Along the way we meet wonderful new characters and become reacquainted with older characters. What can I say, I throughly enjoyed this book.
    • 5/5
      In L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Avonlea, we pick-up the story of Anne Shirley where Anne of Green Gables leaves off. Anne is now a teacher at the Avonlea school. Despite having "grown up" a bit, Anne is still Anne, and with the help of some delightful new characters, continues to get herself into trouble in a way only she can!Anne of Avonlea is a wonderful story. We see Anne growing a little older and wiser in the ways of the world, while still maintaining her whimsical spirit. She is a wonderful, positive heroine, and immediately becomes a "bosom friend" to anyone and everyone who reads her story. Montgomery's descriptions are both beautiful and beguiling. Her writing style is entertaining and readable, making it impossible not to become lost within Anne's favorite haunts in Avonlea. When reading these books it is easy to see why so many fans of the series vacation on Prince Edward Island!
    • 4/5
      Anne of Avonlea captures much of the charm of its predecessor, Anne of Green Gables. It is the continuing story of Anne Shirley, an imaginative orphan adopted at the age of 12 by the Cuthberts and brought to live on Prince Edward Island. The book is populated by the bright and interesting characters of Avonlea, and this book adds Davy and Dora, two new orphan twins that Anne, now 17, is helping to raise. I didn't enjoy this book quite as much as the first -- it felt a little repetitive and spots, but it still made for a good read.
    • 4/5
      Second in series.Anne becomes a young woman, still full of imagination, but ever more tempered with maturity. The author continues to mouth moralistic platitudes, but that was no doubt expected in the early twentieth century.It is easy to become nostalgic for what probably never was, but even still this is a wonderful book for pretreens to read. I wonder how it was it was not available to me?!
    • 5/5
      "Anne Of Avonlea"is a great book. It is about a women(Anne) who is a teacher. She teaches all grades because she lives in older times. In the book Marilla adopts twins and Davy (the twin) is crazy. Dora is more of a serious girl. Davy causes the trouble. Dora learns to help around the house. Anne says that Davy reminds her of herself when she was little. Dora is practical and never gets in trouble. Anne likes Davy better. At one point in the story Davy locks Dora in a shed. Anne and Marilla started panicking and looking for her. They eventually found her hours later. Davy got in big trouble. Then he gets sent to his room and a hour later he broke a platter. He was not allowed to eat dinner. He said he felt bad for doing it. I hope you like the book as much as I did.
    • 5/5
      I read this many years ago. I only remember now that I loved the first three books in the series, I intend to read them again someday.
    • 5/5
      A great read. Sequels can be difficult, especially if the first book is so good. This sequel doesn't disappoint. It continues the story of Anne, Marilla, and Gilbert while introducing the twins Davy and Dora. If you liked the Anne movies, be prepared because this book is very different in some respects. This is where the books and movies really begin to split apart.
    • 3/5
      Anne of Green Gables was a laugh out loud funny book. I suspect this one would have been (more) hilarious if it had been Davy of Green Gables. Unfortunately for me, this book continued to tell Anne Shirley's story. Davy Keith was the second orphan Marilla Cuthbert raised, but he had a minor role. Anne's story became too feminine for me.
    • 5/5
      At first I was totally aware of how dated this book was in comparison to Anne of Greene Gables, but it didn't take long for the charm of the characters to take over and you are transported back to this world that you love without judgement.
    • 3/5
      I read these in middle school. I loved the series, though I never finished it. Something I look forward to reading with my daughter... maybe we can get through the entire series.
    • 3/5
      Much preachier than I remembered. I rolled my eyes a lot.
    • 5/5
      Anne is growing up but still has a knack for getting into mischief!
    • 5/5
      Continuing on from Anne of Green Gables, this is the story of how Anne grows up to become a bright young woman, still taking classes and studying for the Queen's (or anywhere) entrance exam, and a schoolteacher herself for the young children of PE Island.Anne's life is still fraught with conflict and sticky situations (usually of her own devising) and she's still trying to figure out how her feelings for Gilbert Blythe fit into the grand scheme of her life. Creative and moving as ever the second installment of the "Anne of" series does not disappoint.
    • 4/5
      Even though I enjoyed “Anne of Avonlea”, I didn't like it as much as the first book in the series. I think it was because Anne was older and no longer creating havoc at every opportunity. This book focused on her first two years of teaching so was far more serious. However, I did like young Davy, one of the twins Marilla had taken in. He brought humour to the book with his cheeky personality and insatiable curiosity. In fact, he reminded me of Anne at the same age.My biggest complaint about “Anne of Avonlea” was the abrupt way each chapter came to an end. I found this annoying as it created a sense of discord. However, overall, still a sweet read.
    • 2/5
      A teenager is a schoolteacher.2/4 (Indifferent).I can see how people like it. It has a particular sort of folksy charm. I'm just not that sort of person that can get invested in things like what color the hall is painted.
    • 4/5
      Anne, now sixteen, begins her job as a schoolteacher.
    • 5/5
      Anne of Avonlea is a delightful continuation of the story of Anne Shirley, who many readers can claim captured them in Anne of Green Gables. The Anne depicted in Anne of Avonlea seems to have a kind of disconnect from the one depicted in the first novel, making this second a difficult one to get into at first, but the scenes and adventures that once-orphan Anne Shirley finds herself in once again make up for the difference in her character. This is a classic novel and one that I would recommend to everyone regardless of age.
    • 5/5
      It's a must-read for any young girl. Anne is one of the most real and inspiring characters I have ever experienced in any book.
