I started reading this because it's a well known Canadian classic and now that I've read it I understand why. Anne Shirley is a lovable, free spirited girl whose daydreaming is adorable.
Anne, Diana, and all the people in Avonlea make this story such an enjoyable read because they feel like real people you'd meet in your life.

Anne's journey of girlhood makes me especially sentimental because it showcases the true meaning of growing up.
