When life feels difficult, Pollyanna has learned to play The Glad Game. In any situation, no matter how dire it may seem, she challenges herself to find the silver-lining. However, orphaned at a young age and forced to live with her hard-hearted Aunt Polly, Pollyanna has had a lot of opportunities to practice. With her infectious cheer, she is soon convincing some of the towns most troubled residents to rediscover the things theyre glad about, until even her sunny disposition is tested.

A classic of the Golden Age of Childrens Literature, Pollyanna has become a synonym for optimism, and inspired countless readers to find hope in the hardest of situations.
