Marilla and Matthew want to adopt an orphan boy to help out on the farm.  By mistake, they are sent spunky red-haired Anne instead.  At first, it seems that wherever Anne goes, trouble follows.  She hists a boy over the head with her slate at school.  Then she falls off the neighbor's roof during a game of truth or dare!  But as she grows up, all of Avonlea comes to love Anne of Green Gables.
