When orphaned Pollyanna Whittier comes to live with her stern maiden aunt, the entire town of Beldingsville is affected by the bubbly nature of this lively eleven-year-old. Not only is she perpetually cheerful, she also brightens the lives of everyone she meets.
How does Pollyanna manage to be so eternally optimistic? How does she spread her bright outlook among the sick, sad, and abrasive people of the town and transform the life of her lonely aunt? It's the "glad game," she says, describing the antidote to hardship and depressed spirits. But in a serious accident, the town almost loses its "Glad Girl," and everyone looks for a way to make this youngster happy again.
Translated into several languages since its original publication in 1913,
Pollyanna has been made into a Broadway play, as well as a popular motion picture. One of the best-loved children's stories of all time, this classic—along with its spirited heroine—will inspire readers for years to come.

For most children being an orphan sent to live with your cold, stern, spinster aunt might be enough to dull their spirits. But not for 11-year-old Pollyanna Whittier. Thanks to “The Glad Game”, an optimistic and positive attitude she learned from her father, Pollyanna begins to transform the town of Beldingsville, Vermont, into one of the most pleasant places to live in all the world. But when further tragedy strikes will Pollyanna’s light begin to dull, or will she find a way to be glad no matter the circumstances?
