"Anne of Green Gables" by Lucy M. Montgomery.
This book from the pen of Lucy Maude Montgomery introduced the irrepressable Anne Shirley to readers all over the world. Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert form a plan to adopt a boy to help about the house in their old age. But when Matthew arrives at the train station, there is no one there but a pert, forthright young girl who informs him that her name is Anne...with an "e." Charmed, in spite of his disappointment over the loss of a potential son, he agrees to take her home. From the moment she arrives in Avonlea, the citizens find her to be everything from delightful to impossible. The story continues in "Anne of Avonlea" and "Anne of the Island," both available in the PDA Palmtop Paperbacks libraries.
