Published in 1913, the story of a sweet little girl with an amazing ability to see the good in everything became an instant hit, making Pollyanna a beloved heroine for many generations of readers.
It is her natural optimism that helps her cope with trials that are far from childlike: after the death of her clergyman father, the girl is forced to move in with her prim and unaffectionate aunt. But instead of becoming an orphan embittered at the whole world, Pollyanna turns to her extraordinary "glad game" – a game that allows her to look at all of life's hardships, misfortunes, and troubles from a completely new angle… So, Pollyanna has recovered, she is walking again, and she has grown up, but she is still the same Pollyanna. She has been on a journey and is finally returning to her aunt's house… For middle and high school-aged children.
