When Pollyanna was published in 1913, it became an overnight success. It immediately sold over a million copies as young and old alike fell in love with the little freckled orphan girl and her spirited optimism. Many of Beldingsville’s citizens are ill, misguided, and even despairing. The sparkling, ingenuous 11-year-old who descends upon them with her "glad game" gives them renewed hope and changes their lives forever. Then unexpected tragedy strikes, and Pollyanna can no longer find the silver lining in any cloud. Can a child’s suffering possibly serve any purpose?

Author Eleanor Porter wrote, "I have never believed that we ought to deny discomfort and pain and evil: I have merely thought that it is far better to greet the unknown with a cheer." With the added bonus of Barbara Caruso’s skillful reading, even adult listeners will be challenged to finish the book dry eyed.

I like how I control the speed of the reading and just hearing the audio of the reading helps me stay focus on the reading since I'm not a strong reader on books. I do wish I could read along with the audio so I can see the words I can't spell in my head but luckily I found a digital book for Pollyanna on a website. Best of I was able to finish reading/listening the book in just three days instead of weeks. Thanks

I loved the remarks of Nancy like "Shucks and stars!" The narrator had some good voices for characters. The story itself is rich with simple ideas about how we should adjust our attitude when we are not happy with our situation.
