Rilla of Ingleside (Anne of Green Gables, No. 8)
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  handsomeKenneth 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.
