![]() ![]() But if you’ve never read the Emily books, you should start with Emily of New Moon so you can properly fall in love with Emily Byrd Starr, her friends Ilse, Perry and Teddy, and her family, the Murrays. ![]() Review: I picked the middle novel of the Emily books by Lucy Maud Montgomery because Emily begins at age 13 and grows to age 17 by the end. Some success in the publishing department gains her respect from her family, and Emily is faced with a decision related to her writing that will change her life. Emily feels the sting from Ruth Dutton’s constant barbs and the stream of rejection letters, but her self-confidence remains strong and ultimately buoys her dampened spirit. Forced by her Aunt Elizabeth to give up writing fiction while she attends school, Emily focuses on climbing the Alpine path by trying to get her poetry and non-fiction works published. Summary: The second book in the Emily novels, Emily Climbs follows Emily Byrd Starr through her high school years in Shrewsbury living with her Aunt Ruth. ![]()
