This one was just not my favorite. Each chapter switched to focus on a different character and I felt like I couldn't truly like any of them since there was so little time with each.
Also, it seems like Gilbert just dropped off the face of the earth. Montgomery found a way to write him out of nearly every single scene.

Nine years after Anne left Green Gables, she moves into her second home with Gilbert. This book is more about her five children and the scrapes they get into. It is more a collection of short stories, but very enjoyable. ( )

Through Anne, author Montgomery has created a wonderful mother who understands everything about her children, their foibles and their dreams. I liked that she highlighted scrapes and lessons-learned for each of the children, for the reader to better understand all of them as normal youth. And, then there were Anne's own jealousies that she realized later were misidentified. What Montgomery has done is create a storybook world with life events that become learning opportunities for the young adults engrossed in the stories. What a wonderful way to learn! ( )
