Anne of Green Gables is a great book. It tells of the life of Anne Shirley, an orphan girl who's adopted by elderly siblings. There is so much detail and it truly is a masterpiece. The characters are very lovable and well-drawn. Matthew was my favourite character. It's a great read!
Another thing, this book is a CLASSIC. It may be slow-paced and lack action. If you prefer fast-paced action type books, this book isn't for you.
