Rilla of Ingleside (1921) is the eighth of nine books in the Anne of
Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but was the sixth ""Anne""
novel in publication order. 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.
