Pollyanna

Great read for those who need some love in their life

I had just seen the movie of this book and thought it was so cute. Its about poor orphaned Pollyanna who moves in with her up-tight spinster aunt who feel its only her "duty" to have Pollyanna. The more pollyanna goes into the town, the more she brings by introducing everyone to caring, fun, and energetic personality and showing every situationn has a silver lining by her "glad game". But just as Pollyanna brings the most that she can-a traumatic accident hits that not even Pollyanna can find joy in. You will laugh, cry, and look at the world through all new eyes after falling in love with Pollyanna.

I LOVE THIS BOOOOOK!

Pollyanna Whittier is a young girl. Her mother, Jenny Whittier, already died, and her father has recently died as well. Now that she is an orphan, she is sent to go live with her strict, and rich, Aunt Polly. Pollyanna soon does most of the things anticipated by her aunt. When she is running errands in the town, she changes the lives of villagers. As she interacts with the townspeople, she meets a mysterious man named Mr. John Pendleton. After days of trying to get him to say hi and talk with her, one day he asks a lot of questions and they get to know each other throughout the book. She brings him to safety and calls Doctor Chilton. Very soon after that happens, Pollyanna herself mistakenly believed that she could run across the road before the oncoming motorcycle zoomed by. Very, very, unfortunately, she did not make it in time. She is rushed home and the doctor is immediately called. Tragically, Pollyanna finds out that she can not walk ever again in whole her life. Miraculously, Dr. Chilton knows another doctor in the city that can actually fix Pollyanna¿s legs. Her Aunt Polly tells her that Doctor Chilton and she used to be engaged but somehow got in a fight and never talked to each other for 7 years. Now that Pollyanna is in the hospital getting her legs repaired, she must stay there for a couple more months. Finally, Aunt Polly and Dr. Chilton get married right in the hospital!
Pollyanna is one the brightest girls I have ever heard about! She is so thoughtful of others. The genre was historical fiction and I don¿t like historical fiction. But to my surprise, the book was so touching, that it made me want to read it all over again! I am sure my mom would love to read this book because she is easily touched by these types of stories.

greatest book I've read in my live!

'Pollyanna' is a great book. I gave this book 5 star because it has big prints for kids who have difficulty reading small prints and the pictures are really pretty!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Read for Middle School Girls

I had read this book when I was very young. I believe that this story has good morals in it and will never grow old. I bought this book for my 9 year old niece hoping that she will enjoy the characters and the attitude of Pollyanna as much as I always have.

Confusing to read!!!

Lots of typos and interference. Anxious to see if a paid-for copy is better. Disappointing for my daughter, who was really excited to get started on this book. :(

What?

Why did you rate it ***?

my review 2

100 thumbs up!

wonderful!

Pollyanna is a charming classic. It is perfect for children and adults alike. Every little girl should read this book at some time in her life.

A winner

There's nothing better to my mind than an optomistic child who spreads joy everywhere he/she goes and to everyone he/she meets. This book is about one such child and it's incredible. Like they say, 'It's better to sweeten someone with wine than to sour them with vinegar.' This book should be a staple in school for all children to learn from.

Im 13 years old from the libery high school

this book is about an 11 year old orphan who only owns 1 dress. Her mother died including her children, besides Pollyanna. After she gets off the train to live with her aunt polly she is so exited to see the next step of the world before her!!You should read this book to find out what happens after all of this because this is one of the best books I have ever read!!!!

How I like this book

I loved the book Pollyanna. I was done with the book in three days. I would read the book!!!!!

getting there

i am starting this book it sounds really cool and i got to know that the aunt is very mean what she said about the name in the begginnig and i can't wait to finish it but hopefully i can end this book but remember 'DON'T JUGDE A BOOK BY ITS COVOUR YOU'LL NEVER KNOW ONCE YOU READ IT'.

Not just for kids MANY adults should read this book

Pollyanna is much more than a children¿s book. I read this book for the first time, I am 38, and found myself unable to put it down. I am a manager at a large company and found that there are many situations each day where the game can make things much smoother. Ms. Porter has left the world a masterpiece in it¿s simplicity. I would encourage everyone to read Pollyanna, as it is a very fast read and yet conveys a very powerful message.

WOW!!!

This book was so cool. If you want a book to make you want to never put it down, read this.
