In a small town far out West, 11 year old Pollyanna loses her mother then her dad to disease. This book describes how the orphan is sent to be raised by her aunt who loves far away in the East of the country. Unfortunately her aunt does not want her but accepts her very reluctantly only out of 'duty' and sticks her into a tiny hot attic room so she will be 'out of the way'. What Aunt Polly does not know is that Pollyanna is bringing the game of being 'glad' that her father taught her and that her irrepressible happy attitude will transform not only that dull and miserable house, but an entire village before she is through.

Pollyanna, the orphaned eleven-year old, has moved to live with her cold and stern maiden aunt, Polly, after her father's death. She calls it the 'glad game'. Her father had come up with it one Christmas. And ever since, her philosophy of life has centred around it. She brings gladness with this optimism, not just to her dispirited aunt, but also to the other members of the community. Until the day fate puts her optimism to rest. Pollyanna is faced with something so terrible that she is unable to find anything to feel glad about. Will her robust optimism be restored ? Will gladness return to her life ?
