The second book in the Emily novels, Emily Climbs tells the story of Emily moving to a high school in Shrewsbury and beginning her career as a writer with the local newspaper. Shrewsbury brings new friends, new adventures, and new enemies, and the town is scandalized by some of Emilys exploits. Perhaps the hardest trial is having to board with her Aunt Ruth. Or is it her promise to Aunt Elizabeth? But Emilys troubles are only the beginning of her climb to success... and perhaps romance. Then Emily is offered a fabulous opportunity, and she must decide if she wants to change her life forever.
