Emily Byrd Starr's mother died when Emily was just four years old, but Emily has never been lonely. She has her father, her imagination, her writing, and her cats. But when her father dies, her world is turned upside down. She is sent to live at New Moon farm with her stern aunt Elizabeth, who lets Emily bring only one of her cats and forbids her to write in her beloved journal. Emily is sure she'll be miserable, but she soon discovers new friends, the beauty of her surroundings, and an inner strength she never knew she had. Maybe it won't be so bad being Emily of New Moon after all.
Set in turn-of-the-century Canada, Emily of New Moon is the coming-of-age story of an imaginative young orphan named Emily Byrd Starr. Ever since her mother died when she was four, Emily has been raised by her loving father.
When Emily's father dies, leaving her an orphan, she is sent to live with a stern aunt in Prince Edward Island, where her resourcefulness and love of writing help her adjust to a new way of life.
Emily wants to be a writer more than anything else. But this means leaving the comfortable old New Moon farmhouse and living with serious Aunt Ruth.
