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 all her friends are going away to high school in nearby Shrewsbury, and her old-fashioned, tyrannical aunt Elizabeth will only let her go if she promises to stop writing! All the same, this is the first step in Emily's climb to success.
Emily Climbs is the second book in L. M. Montgomery's Emily of New Moon series, published in 1925. It follows the coming-of-age story of Emily Starr, a spirited and imaginative young girl who is raised by her aunts after the death of her parents. The novel continues Emily’s journey toward becoming a writer while she navigates the challenges of growing up, friendships, and her aspirations for a future in the literary world.
In Emily Climbs, Emily faces both internal and external challenges as she struggles to find her voice and place in the world. The title reflects her ongoing personal growth, as she "climbs" toward self-discovery, understanding, and independence. The book portrays her evolving relationships with her friends, especially her friendships with the tempestuous Ilse Burnley and the more reserved Teddy Kent.
