In Emily Climbs, Emily Byrd Starr dreams of attending Queens Academy to pursue her teaching license, but her traditional relatives at New Moon have other plans. Instead, she is given the opportunity to go to Shrewsbury High School with her friends, but with two major stipulations she must live with her unlikable Aunt Ruth and, more challengingly, she is forbidden from writing during her high school years. From the beloved author of Anne of Green Gables, this enchanting tale follows Emilys journey through her formative years, as she navigates friendships, family expectations, and her passion for storytelling. Join her as she embraces the joys and trials of adolescence from age 14 to 17. (Adapted from Wikipedia and a 1925 advertisement)
