(  ) BlaueBlume | Apr 5, 2009 |  Looking for a light book to finish off my holiday reading I borrowed this once more from my sister. It turns out she's never actually read the whole series, having found them too old-fashioned when she was a child. I however love them, and wish I'd thought to borrow the other two as well. I think I may buy my own copies. It's a simple enough tale of an orphan girl being raised by elderly aunts, her love of writing poetry and the mostly everyday adventures she gets into with her friends. Very much recommended to anyone who loves reading children's fiction. (  ) lnr_blair | Feb 10, 2009 | Emily and Anne are the most well-known of L.M. Montgomery's heroines, and among fans there is disagreement over which is the better character. I am torn. Emily's character is less fanciful in some ways than Anne's character, but also less grounded. She has her head in the clouds and is oblivious, it seems, to many things that Anne takes to heart. Emily's story seems darker overall than Anne's, which makes the stories hard to compare. Emily's story succeeds by its own merit, though, and doesn't pale by comparison to Montgomery's other heroines. ( ) rainbowdarling | Dec 27, 2008 | Emily and Anne are the most well-known of L.M.

Emily is much like Anne; but she's different and I like this book better. Emily moves to New Moon with her two Aunts and Cousin Jimmy. There are fascinating stories of long dead Murrays and the lost Diamond. She has many wonderful adventures like staying at Wyther Grange, and discovering the tragic story of the Queen of Hearts. Emily dreams one day of becoming a writer, so be sure and read the sequel to find out if she can. ( ) callmecordelia1912 | Dec 17, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 055323370X, Paperback)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 Use, 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.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:10 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
