Anne of Avonlea Word Crawl

As you probably know by now I have taken to writing word crawls. This is my third one so far. Last year as my first crawl I did the book Anne of Green Gables and when I shared it again on the NaNoWriMo site* this year someone asked if there were other crawls from the series and I said that I was going to work on a crawl for the second book "Anne of Avonlea" and here it is. I hope you enjoy it :) And I promise that this will be my last word crawl for a while so that I won't bore you with too many of them.
