Emily of New Moon Books

Lucy Maud Montgomery has been beloved by generations of readers for her Anne of Green Gables stories. In the celebrated Emily trilogy, of which Emily of New Moon is the first volume, Montgomery draws a more realistic portrait of a young girl’s life on Prince Edward Island. The twin threads of bright and dark, love and cruelty, hope and despair intertwine in a pattern as significant as it is enduring.

Along with Emily Climbs and Emily’s Quest, Emily of New Moon insightfully portrays the beauty and anguish of growing up.

Emily of New Moon

Emily Starr never knew what it was to be lonely, until her beloved father died.  Now Emily's an orphan, and her mother's snobbish relatives are taking her to live with them at New Moon Farm. Emily deals with stiff, stern Aunt Elizabeth and her malicious classmates by holding her head high and using her quick wit.  Things begin to change when she makes friends, with Teddy, who's an artist, with Perry who's sailed all over the world, and with Ilse, a tomboy with a blazing temper.  With new friends and adventures, Emily might someday think of herself as Emily of New Moon.   339 pages.

 Emily Climbs

Emily Starr was born with the desire to write.  As an orphan living on New Moon Farm, writing helped her face the difficult, lonely times.  But now her old-fashioned, tyrannical Aunt Elizabeth will only let her go to high school if she promises to stop writing!  All the same, this is the first step in Emily's climb to success.  Once in town, Emily's activities set the town of Shrewsbury gossips buzzing.  When Emily has her poems published and writes for the town newspaper, success seems to be on its way - and with it the first whispers of romance.   325 pages.
