Emily Climbs
About this ebook
Now a teenager, Emily leaves her home at New Moon Farm to attend Shrewsbury High School. Her determination to succeed is unwavering, even as she faces new obstacles and the scepticism of her conservative Aunt Elizabeth. Despite these challenges, Emily's passion for writing only grows stronger, and she continues to pour her heart into her stories, poems, and letters. During her time in Shrewsbury, Emily deepens her friendships with Ilse Burnley, Teddy Kent, and Perry Miller, while also encountering new people who influence her life in unexpected ways. She struggles with the constraints placed on her by society and her family, but finds solace and freedom in her creative pursuits.
Originally published in 1925, Emily Climbs is the middle volume of Montgomery's Emily Starr trilogy. This Read & Co. Children's edition is designed to sit along side Emily of New Moon and Emily's Queston the bookshelf – a matching set to treasure and to gift to a child who loved Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables or with a writing dream of their own.
