Pollyanna 

Written by Eleanor H. Porter, Pollyanna is a fascinating story of 11-year-old orphan girl who faces every challenge of life by playing the ‘Glad Game’ which she had learnt from her father. The story begins when Pollyanna, after the death of her parents, is sent by the charitable organisation, Ladies Aid, to live with her mother’s real sister and her only relative, Aunt Polly. Pollyanna is an inspiring and delightful classic story for people of all ages. It teaches a reader to look at life in a positive way, and never give up. The readers may even find themselves playing the ‘glad game’ for, as the people Pollyanna meets find out, the game is highly contagious. A must read.
