Review: Emily is a most interesting character! A girl with a great imagination and great determination who wants to write. Her childhood was unusual - her first years, happy with her beloved father - then her life changes drastically when her father dies and her relations have to decide who will look after her - while Emily hides under the table to hear what they have to say! Emily's thoughts about her relation's comments about her make most amusing reading. Then she appears. . . ! Emily ends up being looked after by Aunt Elizabeth and Aunt Laura, two very different characters. We read about how Emily settles - with difficulty - into life at New Moon. We are with her as she meets cousin Jimmy and others, and hears about the Lost Diamond. We are with her as she starts school - and meets Ilse, a wild little girl who becomes Emily's friend. We hear about Ilse's father and the tragedy in his life. Then Emily writes - and writes - about everything that happens to her - in her own unique way. And things start happening! There is much more I could write, but all I will add is that this is a great book about a real character of a girl and the interesting - sometimes remarkable - experiences she has.

Review: Lovely cover but pages very uneven and look as though they would fall out soon
