Pollyanna

1913

3.9 (22)

An abridged version of the tale of orphaned, eleven-year-old Pollyanna, who comes to live with austere and wealthy Aunt Polly, bringing happiness to her aunt and other members of the community through her philosophy of gladness. Pollyanna knows the secret to finding a smile -- even when really bad things happen. From the moment she arrives in Beldingsville, she shares her Glad Game with everyone around her. But the person who needs Pollyanna's help the most doesn't want it. - Publisher.

#1

Just David

4.5 (2)

The touching story of an endearing 10-year-old boy who is suddenly orphaned and transplanted from a world of music in the mountains with his father, to the provincialism of the little town of Hinsdale. It is the story of how the simple, undefilable goodness of David transforms the lives of the people who reluctantly take him in.

#3

Pollyanna Grows Up

1915

3.7 (3)

Optimism often fades to cynicism as children mature into adults. When we last saw Pollyanna, in an eponymous book, she had become paralyzed after a nasty fall and it looked like she could very likely grow bitter under the circumstances. In Pollyanna Grows Up even the healing of her crippled legs and opportunity to travel to Europe don’t guarantee happiness. Growing up she faces times both good and bad.
