The Sequel to the Classic Emily of New Moon Emily Byrd Starr must write-burns to write. She writes out her problems and pours out her dreams, spins stories and poems from flashes of insight. Writing sustained her through the loss of her father and sustains her now despite family disapproval. Though she's found a home at New Moon Farm with her aunts and cousin, and dear friends in quiet Blair Water, she knows she needs more if she's ever going to make her mark on the world. She dreads the coming years, left behind when her friends go away to school. Then Aunt Elizabeth offers her a chance to go with them-and demands an unbearable sacrifice. Can she give up her writing-or her beloved home-to further her ambition? Follow along with Emily, in her own words, as she grows from girl to young woman, balancing tradition and discovery. In this fine new edition, with new foreword by Canadian scholar Dr. E. Holly Pike, find out why Emily Climbs, like author L.M. Montgomery's most famous series about Anne of Green Gables, has never gone out of print.

Montgomery, L. M.: - "Lucy Maud Montgomery - Maud to friends - was the creator of Anne of Green Gables, who wrote 20 novels and hundreds of short stories and poems in her lifetime. It might seem she wrote solely what she knew - the idyllic and individualistic lives of young ladies in small town Canada. However, Maud was a caregiver for a mentally ill loved one, and waged a lifelong war with her own depression, one that might have taken her own life in the end. Throughout, she took refuge in writing. Whatever storm buffeted, her pen lit fires in the human imagination, not the least of which was her own.In writing Maud could fight. She could rebel against oppressors who were too big to fail, tradition, the repression of women, and the wasted potential of girls. With the slash of a pen, she was more, greater than the roles she was forced to play. This led to towering scenes of freedom, whimsy, and romance, and to forbidden topics familiar to paranormal Young Adult genre lovers today: girls with psychic powers; elfin children; and young, quirky witches, knit into prose. Valancy, often compared to an elfin changeling, is one such heroine, now yours to embrace."
