Rilla of Ingleside (Anne of Green Gables #8)
Author: L.M. Montgomery
Desc: Anne's children were almost grown up except for pretty high-spirited Rilla. No one could resist her bright hazel eyes and dazzling smile. Rilla almost fifteen can't think any further ahead than going to her very first dance at the Four Winds lighthouse and getting her first kiss from handsome Kenneth Ford. But undreamed-of challenges await the irrepressible Rilla when the world of Ingleside becomes endangered by a far-off war. Her brothers go off to fight and Rilla brings home an orphaned newborn in a soup tureen. She is swept into a drama that tests her courage and leaves her changed forever.
