Description
Emily Climbs by L.M. Montgomery is the second book in the beloved YA Emily series, following the spirited and ambitious Emily Starr as she navigates adolescence on Prince Edward Island. Orphaned and raised at New Moon Farm, Emily has always found comfort and purpose in writing, but the challenge of her strict aunt Elizabeth threatens to limit her creative freedom. When Emily begins high school in nearby Shrewsbury, she encounters new opportunities, friendships, and the first hints of romance, all while grappling with the expectations of her community. Alongside her talented friends—Ilse, Teddy, and Perry—Emily explores her artistic passions, achieves early literary successes, and faces decisions that could shape her future. Set in early 20th-century Canada, Montgomery’s novel combines rich period detail, coming-of-age struggles, and the joys and heartaches of youth.
Readers of historical young adult fiction and classic coming-of-age stories will be drawn into Emily’s journey of self-discovery, ambition, and resilience, witnessing the early steps of a young writer determined to climb toward her dreams.
