( )children's fiction, Canada, Prince Edward island, writing, love I've given in and finally bought myself copies of the second and third Emily books, after many years of occasionally borrowing them from my sister. And reading this one overnight I find it was well worth the investment. I still love to read of Emily's adventures with Ilse and Perry and Teddy and her Murray relations: they seem as fresh to me as ever and yet as familiar as an old friend. I *much* prefer these to the Anne stories. This is my favorite of the Emily novels. She not a child anymore; but she hasn't the romance problems of when she's older. Emily gets locked int he church with mad Mr. Morrison and Teddy comes to save her. Emily boards with her Aunt Ruth while in high school. I can't imagine having to live with stuffy Aunt Ruth. Then Emily discovers a lost boy, and who could forget The Woman who Spanked the King? This is a must read for all Anne of Green Gables fans. As the middle book of a trilogy, my experience tells me that Emily Climbs should suffer some from too much exposition and not enough "action." This is not the case with this book. Emily Climbs is almost a book unto itself, able to stand alone as well as be enjoyed in the context of the other two novels in the series. The story is enjoyable because of how Emily grows and changes through the story as well as how she reacts and interacts with different characters than in Emily of New Moon. I am a fervent and unabashed lover of Emily. no reviews | add a review
