At sixteen, Anne Shirley is almost grown up. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. In the years since she arrived at Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of Avonlea—and a reputation for getting into scrapes. But when Anne begins her job as the new Avonlea schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins.

While teaching the three R's, Anne is also learning how complicated life can be when she meddles in someone else's romance, finds two new orphans at Green Gables, and wonders about the strange behavior of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne enters womanhood, her adventures touch both the heart and the funny bone.

Critic reviews

“With a brisk pace and pleasant, natural style, O’Malley’s voice makes a good match for Anne’s sweet-natured temperament and higher energy…O’Malley gives the many narrative passages, and Anne’s parts, a lively quality, while setting an overall tone of nostalgia to match the story.”

Shame such a lovely story was told by such a ‘Siri’ like reader. A disappointment after listening to Anne of Green gables.

Beautiful story, monotone reader

As this is included in audible's free library, it was a good find. The narration was slightly stilted but worth persevering.

Many enjoyable layers of story writing

Reading about the life of young Anne as she goes through her teenage years is a delightfully innocent tale. As a very very much older reader it reminds me of books I read in my pre ten/very early teen years. A gentle story I loved to listen to in bed, to relax me before sleep.
I shall try the next book in the sequence now.

Easy restful read

Another lovely story following Ann's journey, growing in age, imagination, and emotional and academic intelligence, as well as the many familiar and new characters I've become fond of. All so interesting and flawed yet mostly adorable. It took me a while to get used to the narrator Susan O'Malley as Anne of Green Gables, which I'd listened to previously, was read by Rachel McAdam's and well I'd become used to the voices of the characters differently and more animated. These stories leave me feeling upbeat and wanting more.

Love this book
