This is the second book in the Anne of Green Gables series. It picks up the fall after the first book ends. Anne is about to start her first term teaching at the Avonlea school, although she will still continue her studies at home with Gilbert, who is teaching at the nearby White Sands School. Marilla's third cousin dies and she takes in her two children while their uncle is out of the country. The children are Davy and Dora, a set of twins as opposite as day and night. They are initially meant to stay only a short time, but the twins' uncle postpones his return to collect the twins and then eventually dies. This book follows Anne from the age of 16 to 18, during the two years that she teaches at Avonlea school. The book soon introduces Anne's new and problematic neighbor, Mr. Harrison, and his foul-mouthed parrot. Some of Anne's new pupils, such as Paul Irving, an American boy living with his grandmother in Avonlea while his widower father works in the States. He delights Anne with his imagination and whimsical ways, which are reminiscent of Anne's in her childhood. This book sees Anne maturing slightly, even though she still cannot avoid getting into a number of her familiar scrapes that we all know and love Anne for.
I still love Anne, and I love Avonlea, being older than when I first read this book I'm able to relate to the maturity that a girl grows into, without loosing her sense of fun. I'm sad there IAS not more of Gilbert in this book, and I relate to Anne's feeling of being left behind NY all her engaged friends. But she still maintains her imagination and her joyfulness no matter what.

One of my favorites it brightens my day every time I read it and I get something new every time.
Decisamente inferiore rispetto al primo capitolo della saga: non succede quasi nulla e Davy è decisamente una copia della Anna bambina portata all'esasperazione
Still such clever writing with amusing jokes and lovely metaphors. Some of the detailed stuff about her students and what they imagine was just too much and not to my taste though. I’d have preferred more on the live stories of Anne and Diana.
