Emily Climbs

This delightful sequel continues the journey of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Emily Starr as she navigates the challenges of growing up and pursues her literary dreams.

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 beautifully captures the trials and triumphs of a young woman determined to follow her dreams, showcasing Lucy Maud Montgomery's signature blend of humour and warmth.
