#5B - Anne of Avonlea

Another thanks to project Gutenberg.

Anne of Avonlea, by L. M. Montgomery, takes up where Anne of Green Gables left off. Anne, now a teacher at the Avonlea school, has progressed significantly since arriving at Green Gables. Marilla takes in twins who an helps raise. Davy reminds the reader very much of Anne, while Dora is very proper.

The writing and character development continue to be excellent. The story is almost as good as the first book, which is rare in a sequel. Same recommendation as #5A.
