Not only must she prove herself at school, despite rejection and jealousy, but she can no longer count on her friends. Her happy childhood friendships - especially with Teddy and Perry - start to turn into something more complicated and in a small-town, the merest hint of gossip can cause scandal.Heart-rending, magical and utterly unforgettable, Emily's story continues in Emily's Quest, also available from Virago Modern Classics.
