Anne and Marilla foster a pair of twins, but only the boy gets any kind of narrative attention. The girl is just quiet and boring, while the boy is annoying and his pranks and mishaps take up about half of the book. I much prefer when Anne has mishaps.
The solutions to life's problems as presented in this book are
Very unsubtle Anne and Gilbert parallels for those first two I dare say. I wish instead we got to see more of what Gilbert is like, because I did enjoy his rare appearances very much.

I really disliked the storyline with the twins. They did Dora dirty. And Davy can go eat a rotten, bug infested turnip. He's not cute, he's a walking red flag.
