Book Overview

From the author of Anne of Green Gables , the first book of the beloved Emily trilogy--recently seen on Netflix's hit show Russian Doll Emily Starr never knew what it was to be lonely -- until her beloved father died. Now Emily's an orphan, and her snobbish relatives are taking her to live with them at New Moon Farm. Although she's sure she'll never be happy there, Emily deals with her stern aunt Elizabeth and her malicious classmates by using her quick wit and holding her head high. In this first volume of the celebrated Emily trilogy, Lucy Maud Montgomery draws a more realistic portrait of a young orphan girl's life on early twentieth-century Prince Edward Island. Along with Emily Climbs and Emily's Quest , Emily of New Moon insightfully portrays the beauty and anguish of growing up.

Published by Ashly Moore Sheldon • November 15, 2019

Many parents groan as their child picks the same book to read night after night. That one again? This behavior often continues into the teen years.
