What Readers are Saying:

"Next to Anne of Green Gables, [it's] one of the books I've re-read the most times. I've always loved this and considered it the best of Montgomery's standalone books."

"Superb. Absolutely superb. The characters live and step right off the page, leaving me thinking about them after I've closed the book."

"Classic L.M. Montgomery. Lots of fun characters doing crazy things and then gossiping about it to anyone who will listen. Loved it!"
