Yes, I know this is a children's book. I actually bought it for my great niece, who won't be ready to read it for some time--she's less than two years old. Also, a woman in my writing class loved Anne of Green Gables and once wrote what she called a fan fiction story about Anne.
A brother and sister, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, decide to adopt a boy from an orphan asylum to help out on their farm. Anne is sent by mistake. Matthew is immediately taken with her. Marilla is not so sure about keeping her. She considers sending Anne back until Marilla sees a possible future for Anne with the shrewish Mrs .Blewett, whose discharged servant girls told "fearsome tales of her temper and stinginess." So, Anne goes back to her new home of Green Gables.
Anne thrives with the Cuthberts, and soon they can't imagine their lives without her.
