Emily of New Moon

"Emily of New Moon" by L. M. Montgomery is a story about a young girl named Emily Starr, who must find her way in the world after her father passes away. The book, set in the countryside, follows imaginative Emily as she deals with creativity, the pain of loss, and trying to find a loving family that accepts her for who she is. In the beginning, Emily lives in a quiet house with her dad and her animal friends. She has a big imagination and loves to write about the world around her. But her happy life is turned upside down when her father gets sick and dies. The story shows how close Emily was to her father, how sad she feels when he's gone, and how her life changes when her relatives, the Murrays, come to take her to their home. As Emily moves forward, she will need to fight for who she is and where she belongs in this new, difficult life.
