Anne of Green Gables

A precocious 11-year-old Anne is adopted by Marilla and Matthew, a brother and sister on a Prince Edward Island farm.  They all all grow to love each other in spite of Anne trying their patience with her imagination and talkativeness.  First time I've read this classic--it made me smile throughout and was just the right light-hearted read for me right now.  I give this a 4 out of 5.
