false 3562 32 Emily Starr never knew what it was to be lonely -- until her beloved father died. Now Emily's an orphan, and her mother's snobbish relatives are taking her to live with them at New Moon Farm. She's sure she won't be happy Emily deals with stiff, stern Aunt Elizabeth and her malicious classmates by holding her head high and using her quick wit. Things begin to change when she makes friends: with Teddy, who does marvelous drawings; with Perry, who's sailed all over the world with his father yet has never been to school; and above all, with Ilse, a tomboy with a blazing temper. Amazingly, Emily finds New Moon beautiful and fascinating. With new friends and adventures, Emily might someday think of herself as Emily of New Moon. 1223124 1923 Emily of New Moon (Emily Book 1) total:3505|5:1392|4:1242|3:725|2:125|1:21| 3505 14374 4213 263 4 5 false false Thu Jul 03 10:12:06 -0700 2008 Tue May 12 18:12:48 -0700 2009 Emily of New Moon will find themselves comparing it to the author's most famous literary creation, Anne of Green Gables.
