Pollyanna #1 and Pollyanna #2 (Pollyanna Grows Up), by Eleanor H. Porter, are both included in this edition and are timeless, classic children's stories about the power of positivity and how profoundly it affects others. Pollyanna (Pollyanna book 1) Pollyanna Whittier has had a difficult life. Her mother died when she was little and all she's ever known is poverty. Then sadly, at the age of 11 her father passes away, leaving her an orphan. But this story isn't one about sadness! It's about overcoming the hard parts of life by thinking positively. Years before Pollyanna's father died, he gave her a gift in the form of a game; The Glad Game. This game, or rather philosophy, comes in handy in the new town she finds herself in, living as an orphan with her ill-tempered aunt in the city of Beldingsville. Pollyanna's exuberance and positivity affect everyone who meets her, and she spreads joy and love wherever she goes. Soon tragedy strikes and Pollyanna finds her optimistic attitude tested, and she must learn to find happiness again. Pollyanna Grows Up, Pollyanna book 2 In Pollyanna Grows Up, the only sequel written by Eleanor H. Porter herself, Pollyanna finds that despite overcoming the health issues that she faced in the original Pollyanna, adulthood brings fresh challenges to conquer. This Pollyanna sequel is told in two halves; the first part takes place about two years after the first book and the second half of the story races forward several years to follow a young 20-something year-old Pollyanna. Readers get to visit with beloved, familiar characters such as Aunt Polly, Dr. Chilton and Jimmy Bean. This story involves loss and hardship but largely focuses on love and growing up. The heart of this sequel remains consistent with the first, in that there is always something to be glad about. Pollyanna and Pollyanna Grows Up brings us a strong and admirable heroine, despite the modern, infamous use of the character s name to describe those who utilize false positivity or phony optimism. Pollyanna is able to change her circumstances, and the circumstances of those around her, by practicing being glad. Positivity is contagious and that lesson is still as relevant for young children today as it was in 1913 when this story was first published and flew off the shelves, the year leading up to WWI.
