Emily Climbs
by L. M. Montgomery
Emily Starr was born with a desire to write. As an orphan living on a New Moon farm, writing helped her survive hard, lonely times. But now all her friends are going to high school in nearby Shrewsbury, and her old-fashioned, cruel Aunt Elizabeth will only let her go if she promises to stop writing! This is still the first step in Emily's success. When she arrived in town, Emily's activities caused Shrewsbury's gossip to buzz. But Emily and her friends are sure — born actress Ilse, Teddy is set to become a great artist, and Rogish Perry has the production of a brilliant lawyer. When Emily publishes her poems and writes for the city newspaper, success seems to be on her way — and with her the first whispers of romance. Then Emily is presented with a fabulous opportunity and must decide if she wants to change her life forever.
