Rainbow Valley

Rainbow Valley (1919) is the seventh novel in L.M. Montgomery's beloved Anne of Green Gables series. Set in the idyllic glen near the Ingleside home, the story follows Anne Blythe's six children and the four motherless youngsters of the new Presbyterian minister, Reverend John Meredith. When the free-spirited Meredith children run wild through the village—scandalizing the congregation with their unconventional behavior—the stage is set for a warmhearted tale of childhood adventures, community gossip, and the search for a mother's love.

Montgomery weaves humor and pathos together as the children form a "Good-Conduct Club" to reform themselves, a sharp-tongued orphan named Mary Vance disrupts their plans, and a quiet romance blossoms between the absent-minded minister and a woman with a mysterious past. With its vivid Prince Edward Island setting and unforgettable cast of characters, Rainbow Valley captures the joys and growing pains of childhood while celebrating the resilient bonds of family and friendship.
