Such a beautiful story full of magic.

The book revolves around a young 11-year-old orphaned girl Pollyanna Whittier who goes to live with her rich, stern, emotionless, and strict aunt, Aunt Polly, after her father’s demise.

It is a powerful and uplifting story about optimism, positivity, and happiness. The central idea of the story is to make readers aware of the fact that ‘there is something about everything that you can be glad about, if you keep hunting long enough to find it.’ This is what Pollyanna’s ‘Glad Game’ is all about.

The book will teach you how to appreciate what you have and will invigorate you to see this world through a lens of positivity and optimism.

A must-read for all age groups. Go for it. This book is definitely the game-changer. It will surely transform your life. A book I highly recommend. ( )

One of the most influential books of my childhood because it taught me to always maintain the heroine's sunny, optimistic perspective, her ability to find the silver lining. If not done to an extreme, playing the Glad Game is a very good thing. ( )

Old fashioned, but a lovely, feel-good story ! ( )

Certainly Pollyanna has a reputation for being overly sweet and good, but it was a pleasure to read this book aloud to my children, who were deeply in need of an introduction to the glad game. There is a lot that went over their heads, and they were both very upset that Pollyanna's recovery had no explanation and very little time in the novel. Otherwise, we all enjoyed this story and it was a good bedtime book. ( )
