Anne of Green Gables 

It s a million times nicer to be Anne of Green Gables than Anne of nowhere in particular, isn t it? My dislikes: Being an orphan, having red hair, being called carrots by Gilbert Blythe. My likes: Living at the Green Gables with Marilla and Matthew, my bosom-friend Diana, dresses with puff sleeves. My regrets: Dying my hair green. Smashing a slate over Gilbert Blythe s head. My dream: To tame my temper. To be good (this is an uphill struggle). To grow up to have auburn hair!Includes exclusive material: In the Backstory you can find out about the real Green Gables, the plucky author and more!Vintage Children s Classics is a twenty-first century classics list aimed at 8-12 year olds and the adults in their lives.
