Poor Gus Pike!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Based on an episode from the second season of ROAD TO AVONLEA. Aunt Hetty decides to put her teaching skills to work and gather all the poor uneducated boys in Avonlea and teach them. She meets Gus Pike who is eager to learn. She teaches him how to write his name and proper manners as well as the school subjects. Then, rival teacher Miss Stacey (played by Maryilyn Lightstone, Miss Stacey in Anne of Green Gables/Anne of Avonlea) arrives for a visit! Miss Stacey taught Anne Shirley, Gilbert Blythe and many other famous people and Hetty is angry and she almosts breaks her back! Miss Stacey steps into her schoolhouse as a substitute teacher and sparks fly as she proposes a benefit concert AGAINST Miss King's wishes! I loved this story because it makes you think and laugh and it's good soul food because of it's heartwarming theme. These stories are very heartwarming and set at the turn of the century in the town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island, Canada.
