First published in 1921, &quot;Rilla of Ingleside&quot; is the eighth of nine books in the Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but was the sixth &quot;Anne&quot; novel in publication order. It centres on fourteen-year-old Rilla Blythe during World War I, known then as the &#39;Great War&#39;.<br /><br />Anne&#39;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&#39;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.&nbsp;
