Publisher Description
Eleven year-old Pollyanna, having recently been orphaned by her widower father, is sent back East to be cared for by her dutiful and stoic Vermont aunt. Naive and ever-literal, this very positive young girl brings with her an infectious habit of instinctive gratitude that was taught to her as “the game” by her late father. This game serves her well, while also uplifting the turn of the century New England community which becomes her home.
Pollyanna inspired the production of five feature length films and fifteen subsequent novels, including books written by six other authors. Pollyanna was a best-selling children’s book when first published, and the eponyms “Pollyanna” and “Pollyanna Principle” have taken a lasting place in our culture.
Customer Reviews
The Glad Game
This is the second book I have read by the author, and it doesn’t disappoint. Pollyanna brings joy to the most darkest heart in this story. Everyone should be thankful and glad for something every day. Highly recommend this book!
Good book
This is a very good book. It’s very fun because Pollyanna is always so happy and makes everyone around her happy too. I don’t like what happens in the end though it’s sad!😭 the person in the car should have payed for the doctor bill or AT LEAST apologized. I mean like really how mean is he?? He ran over a little girl! Sorry for anyone reading this who hasn’t read the book yet and I spoiled it for you🙃. But I think you should be around 11-13 yr old when you read this. Thank you for reading my review!
