Happy Birthday, Molly! takes place over several weeks. We learn this because there is time for Molly's friends to stop disliking Emily for being shy, for Molly and Emily to argue and make up again, and also time to plan the party. From what I can tell, Brave Emily occurs towards the beginning of Happy Birthday, Molly! and takes place over the course of two weeks or so.
I think Emily's aunt is sick with pneumonia, isn't it? And that can take a month or two to recover from.

I just finished reading Brave Emily, and I don't really understand where it fits into Happy Birthday Molly. Both stories seem to take place in the same time frame. Continuity errors drive me crazy!

It takes place during the same time as Happy Birthday Molly, somewhere in the middle.

Emily has been at the McIntires house for one week when Brave Emily starts.
In the 40's, pneumonia was still a VERY serious illness that took months to recover from. If it didn't kill you. Pencillin had been discovered, but was not in wide use in civilian hospitals until after the war was over.
