I read Anne of Green Gables when I was around Anne's age and I think I reread it as an adult when I was reading the rest of the series. My recollection is that even at a young age some of Anne's antics in the first book made me cringe. I preferred the later books where she had grown up and calmed down a little.
A couple people upthread mentioned Davy and Dora in Anne of Avonlea. I thought those characters were brought in to give Anne and Marilla a taste of their own medicine. Anne had to be constantly chasing after Davy and dealing with his questions, while Marilla ended up thinking prim-and-proper Dora was rather dull.
