Anne of Avonlea, the sequel to Anne of Green Gables, was published
in 1909 as the second novel in the Anne of Green Gables series. Anne Shirley is now 16 years old and teaching at the Avonlea school.
As reflected in the title of the book, Anne's circle of influence has widened
from affecting her home in Anne of Green Gables to influencing her town
in Anne of Avonlea.
We follow Anne as she experiences both the rewards and challenges of being a
new teacher. Outside of the classroom, Anne and her friends endeavor to improve
Avonlea by forming an Avonlea Village Improvement Society (AVIS). Their efforts
have varied results. Meanwhile, Marilla takes in twins named Davy and Dora, who
are her distant relations, after their mother dies. The twins add a new energy
to Green Gables.
