Now she faces a new challenge: the Pringles. They're known as the royal family of Summerside--and they quickly let Anne know she is not the person <i>they</i> had wanted as principal of Summerside High School. But as she settles into the cozy tower room at Windy Poplars, Anne finds she has great allies in the widows Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty--and in their irrepressible housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. As Anne learns Summerside's strangest secrets, winning the support of the prickly Pringles becomes only the first of her delicious triumphs. 2946564 book 1936 Anne of Windy Poplars (Anne of Green Gables, #4) total:7410|5:2369|4:2663|3:1930|2:388|1:60| 7410 29123 8903 196 5 1 false false Sun Aug 10 09:03:59 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 10 09:10:52 -0700 2008
