About this audiobook

Pollyanna is one of the most beloved classics of American children's literature, celebrated for its timeless message of hope, resilience, and the transforming power of gratitude.

When eleven-year-old Pollyanna Whittier is sent to live with her stern Aunt Polly in a small New England town, her cheerful outlook and famous "glad game" gradually begin to change the lives of everyone around her. Through kindness, compassion, and unwavering optimism, Pollyanna discovers that joy is not found in perfect circumstances, but in the way we choose to face life's challenges.

Originally published in 1913, Eleanor H. Porter's enduring novel has inspired generations of readers with its unforgettable characters, heartfelt storytelling, and enduring themes of love, forgiveness, friendship, and personal transformation.

This GH Editions edition faithfully preserves the original text while presenting it in a carefully designed digital format for today's readers. It also includes For Reflection, a collection of ten original discussion questions created to encourage thoughtful personal reflection or book club conversation after the novel.

Perfect for readers who enjoy classic literature, uplifting fiction, coming-of-age stories, and timeless family novels.
