From the author of Anne of Green Gables, the first book of the beloved Emily trilogy—recently seen on Netflix’s hit show Russian Doll! Emily of New Moon follows Emily Starr, an orphaned girl who finds herself taken to live with her snobbish relatives at New Moon Farm after the death of her beloved father. Despite her certainty that she will never be happy there, Emily navigates life by using her quick wit and maintaining a strong spirit in the face of her stern aunt Elizabeth and malicious classmates.

In this first volume of the celebrated Emily trilogy, Lucy Maud Montgomery offers a more realistic portrayal of a young orphan girl’s life on early twentieth-century Prince Edward Island. Along with Emily Climbs and Emily’s Quest, Emily of New Moon insightfully captures the beauty and anguish of growing up.
