Book Synopsis
From the much-loved author of Anne of Green Gables comes another feisty young character: Emily Starr. Follow her charming coming-of-age story through the beautiful trilogy collection, featuring Emily of New Moon, Emily Climbs, and Emily's Quest.
Emily has a vivid imagination and dreams of becoming a famous writer, but her entire world crumbles around her when her father passes away, and she is sent to New Moon farm to live with her strict aunt.
Follow Emily's coming-of-age journey as she narrowly escapes death, has psychic experiences, and makes lifelong friends. The orphan struggles to balance her ambitions of fame with her chaotic life as she slowly learns to call New Moon home.
Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote The Emily Starr Series following the international success of her Anne of Green Gablesvolumes. Both Emily and Anne are widely imaginative and hot-headed orphan girls trying to find their place on Prince Edward Island. Yet, where Anne is welcomed by kind strangers and is quick to make friends, Emily's adventure is one of dark turns and strong-willed bravery.
This beautiful edition of The Emily Starr Series is perfect for fans of the Anne of Green Gables books and would be a wonderful gift for children with big dreams and a love of words.
