    About this audiobook

    Five years after Anne Shirley came to the town of Avonlea, she feels (a little) more grown up, but she's still the same skinny, red-headed orphan Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert took in. After putting her dream of attending Redmond College on hold so she can help Marilla with the farm, Anne doubts she has many adventures ahead of her. But even in plain old Avonlea, her life proves to be anything but ordinary. This sequel to Anne of Green Gables follows Anne's endeavors to become a successful teacher, help raise a pair of rambunctious twins, and improve her beloved hometown-with the help of her former enemy, Gilbert Blythe, who's giving her an awful lot of attention...

    Lucy Maud 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.

    • 4/5
      Excellent follow up to Anne of Green Gables
    • 5/5
      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.
    • 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
      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
      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
      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
      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
      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.
    • 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.
    • 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!
    • 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
      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.
    • 4/5
      Nothing could ever be as good as the first book of the series - Anne of Green Gables. But still, further adventures of all the favorite characters is very comforting and familiar. Anne is too grown up now for the kind of delightful scrapes in the first book, but a host of new young characters make plenty of trouble, and Anne still manages to come up with a few good ones, such as getting herself stuck half-way through an outbuilding roof.
    • 4/5
      This has always been my least favorite of all the Anne books; I like it even less than the really episodic ones later in the series which were written years after she finished the rest of them. This one has some of the most annoying characterization of any book I've ever even remotely liked -- I always just read it because I feel like I have to, before I can move on to the rest of the series.
    • 5/5
      The sequel to Anne of Green Gables. A continuation of one of the classic young adult stories. Just as good as the first volume.
    • 5/5
      Anne Shirley is back and getting older. But still the same old Anne with her stories and getting into trouble. Marilla takes in two new orphans a boy and a girl. The girl to good but for the boy he is like Anne a bit likes to get into trouble.Gilbert's feelings for Anne are growing.
    • 4/5

      I never read this series as a child, and don't know why not! I loved it; I am a kindred spirit to Anne, lol! I will read the entire series this year and see if I can find the tv series as well. What a great classic series! Now I want even more to visit Prince Edward Island in Canada - some day.
