Anne Dreams: Inspired by Anne of Green Gables (An Anne Chapter Book)
#6 in Anne Chapter Books Series
What’s inside...
Anne Dreams retells some of Anne Shirley’s earliest days at Green Gables for new readers. Bursting with imagination, the spirited red-haired orphan turns every chore and quiet moment into a grand adventure on Prince Edward Island. Yet her daydreams—of royal rescues, enchanted lakes, and brave heroines—often land her in trouble with Marilla and the neighbors. Through apologies, newfound friendships, and the discovery that imagination can help instead of hinder, Anne learns how to balance dreaming with doing.
