This is a fun, youthful classic about the titular orphan girl Anne who gets accidentally adopted by an older pair of siblings from the rural Green Gables. She's bright, energetic, and very talkative and the book is all about how her whirlwind of a presence brings light and joy to the lives of her new parents and everyone around her. Although it loosely follows a plot of her learning to fit in with others in her new life at school, it's mostly character-driven and focuses on her relationships and experiences. It was an easy read and although cute at points, overall not a very memorable or touching one for me.
