Of course you know and love Anne of Green Gables. But what about Emily of New Moon? Emily is a new find for me, and she is a delight, even more Anne-of-Green-Gables-ishly forthright than Anne herself. Emily knows, above all things, that she wants to be a writer, and she sets out to do that. Her Aunt Elizabeth throws a rock in her path when she allows Emily to attend high school in a nearby town only after making Emily vow to stop writing fiction during her time there. Emily does so, very reluctantly, but she keeps a journal of her time in Shrewsbury, noting all her adventures there.
Emily is a fascinating character, and her passions for writing and for her friends along with her struggles with the censure of others make this a good read.
