About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is navigating a new environment where they feel like an outsider or is facing the challenge of winning over difficult people. While this is the fourth book in the Anne of Green Gables series, it stands beautifully on its own as a study in emotional intelligence and resilience. The story follows Anne Shirley as a young professional serving as a high school principal in a town controlled by a skeptical, clannish family. Through Anne's letters to her fiancé, Gilbert, parents will find a wonderful model of how to maintain integrity and kindness when faced with workplace politics and social coldness. It deals with themes of loneliness, the importance of community, and the power of finding 'kindred spirits' in unexpected places. It is a gentle, sophisticated read that encourages patience and empathy, making it perfect for teens preparing for their first jobs or heading off to college.
