Emily Starr had never known loneliness until her beloved father died. Emily is now an orphan, and her obnoxious relatives are taking her to New Moon Farm to live with them. Emily cope with her severe aunt Elizabeth and her spiteful classmates by using her quick wit and keeping her head high, despite the fact that she knows she'll never be happy there.. Lucy Maud Montgomery paints a more realistic picture of a little orphan girl's existence on early twentieth-century Prince Edward Island in this first volume of the acclaimed Emily trilogy. Emily of New Moon, like Emily Climbs and Emily's Quest, is an incisive portrayal of the beauty and pain of growing up.
