Anya of Green Gables

When red-haired Anya Shirley arrives on Prince Edward Island, she's sure she's finally found the home she's always dreamed of. Anya is an orphan who did not have a childhood, because both in foster families and in an orphanage, she worked as an adult, no one gave her warmth, her life was still a “cemetery of hopes.” But her new adoptive parents are confused, because they asked for a boy to be sent to them to help them on the farm in Green Gables. The girl seems strange to them at first, she constantly gets into trouble, but over time, Anya’s irrepressible optimism, rich imagination, and good nature conquer them and the residents of Avonlea.
