Pollyanna Grows Up: (Timeless Classic Books)

A reader's review: I love this book!!!! It's just as good as the first one. My sixteen-year-old older sister kept this treasured book in her shelf and urged me constantly to read it. I brushed her off saying that I didn't have time and that it looked boring. One day, I had nothing to do so I picked up the well worn book and began reading. Surprise! I couldn't put it down. Not because it was exciting or suspenseful, but simply because it's one of those feel-good, sweet and uplifting books. On first examination it doesn't seem deep or like it would have something important to teach, but after a closer look you find what a beautiful message it has to share. A girl, who with her kindness and ever cheerful outlook on her surprisingly hard life, make her a role model for anyone. This is a perfect book for anyone who likes a delightful story and a sweet romance. I agree with the other reviewer about Aunt Polly. She is quite exasperating, but the other wonderful characters make up for it and she keeps it interesting. So, get a cup of hot chocolate and snuggle down by a warm fire with this book and be prepared for a wonderful time!
