Emily Climbs by L.M. Montgomery

4.0

I love Emily and her cast of friends and family and I love the little towns she lives in and the people she meets along the way. That said, this one seems a little spread out. Maybe it's just because I read them so closely together, but I had trouble keeping the events of this book separate from the events of the previous.

Spoiler
At least a little of that is because they're so similar--in both books, Emily finds a missing person using a psychic ability. In both books, Emily fights against a stubborn aunt who thinks she's behaving inappropriately and doesn't respect her need to write. In both books, she loves Teddy but keeps receiving marriage proposals from Perry. In both books, Dean is creepy and hits on her.


All of that aside, I enjoyed both books a lot, and I love Emily--if not as much as Anne, it's very close.
