Anne of Green Gables by L M Montgomery

This book is really good, its an oxford classic which sounds quite weird but its actually a really good book :)
It's all about a brother and sister called Michael and Marila who decide to adopt a boy for the farm but when Michael arrives at the station he finds that there is a girl there. Talkative orphan Anne is thrilled to be adopted but little does she know they wanted a boy. What will Mathew tell Marilla and will they really keep Anne?


Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are in for a big surprise. they are waiting for an orphan boy to help with the work at Green Gables – but a skinny, red-haired girl turns up instead. Feisty and full of spirit, Anne Shirley charms her way into the Cuthberts' affection with her vivid imagination and constant chatter. It's not long before Anne finds herself in trouble, but soon it becomes impossible for the Cuthberts to imagine life without 'their' Anne – and for the people of Avonlea to recall what it was like before this wildly creative little girl whirled into town.  from amazon

i would rate this book 4 stars because it was cleverly written but at the beginning a bit confusing ;]
