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 Ilse 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.
