Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery

Orphan Anne Shirley is mistakenly sent to live with the Cuthberts, a brother and sister expecting a boy to help on their farm. Spirited, imaginative, and outspoken, Anne charms the small town of Avonlea despite frequent scrapes and misadventures. The plot follows her growing up—making friends, facing rivalries, and discovering purpose and love. Through joy and sorrow, Anne blossoms into a thoughtful young woman. It’s a beloved coming-of-age tale about belonging, self-expression, and the beauty of ordinary life.
