Anne is now sixteen and is a school ma’am at the Avonlea School. But that’s not all. The Keith twins, consisting of the almost too perfect Dora and very mischievous Davy, have come to stay, and Anne finds another kindred spirit by the name of Miss Lavender.

A pretty good book. Davy is often “I want to know”ing and you may find some parts enjoyable. There’s a rather humorous part when Anne gets stuck in a roof.

While waiting for Gilbert Blythe to finish school, Anne moves to Summerside, where she takes a job as principal of the high school. She boards with Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty (they aren’t her aunts), and their housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. However, the Pringles, who control Summerside, don’t want Anne to be the principal, and make sure she knows it. Of course, Anne being who she is, she tries to get over the barrier.

Anne is just as Anne-ish as she is in the first three books. You’ll laugh through this. And L. M. Montgomery loves to make fun of love letters. (You’ll know what I’m talking about once you read it.)
