Pollyanna by PORTER, Eleanor H.

Pollyanna tells the story of Pollyanna Whittier, a young girl who goes to live with her wealthy Aunt Polly after her fathers death. Pollyannas philosophy of life centers around what she calls The Glad Game: she always tries to find something to be glad about in every situation, and to always do without delay whatever she thinks is right. With this philosophy, and her own sunny personality, she brings so much gladness to her aunts dispirited New England town that she transforms it into a pleasant, healthy place to live. Eventually, however, even Pollyannas robust optimism is put to the test when she loses the use of her legs in an accident. (written by Mary Anderson)
