Produktbeschreibung
Pollyanna Grows Up is the sequel to Pollyanna, written by Eleanor H. Porter. In this continuation of the story, Pollyanna, the optimistic and cheerful young girl from the first book, is now a bit older. The novel follows Pollyanna as she adjusts to life in her teenage years and navigates new challenges, relationships, and her continued dedication to the "Glad Game"-a philosophy of finding something to be glad about in any situation. In the first book, Pollyanna's influence brought joy and positivity to many people around her, and in Pollyanna Grows Up, her optimism continues to impact those she meets. This book explores Pollyanna's relationships with new characters, as well as the evolving dynamics with her old friends, like her Aunt Polly and others in the town. However, the story is not without its difficulties. Pollyanna faces emotional and personal challenges as she learns that life is not always as simple as seeing the good in everything, and sometimes the "Glad Game" can't solve every problem. Through these experiences, Pollyanna matures and grows, and the novel reflects themes of personal growth, the complexities of life, and the importance of empathy and compassion. Unlike the first book, which focuses more on Pollyanna's arrival and her immediate influence on others, Pollyanna Grows Up is about her coming-of-age journey and understanding that life has both its ups and downs.

She was born as Eleanor Emily Hodgman in Littleton, New Hampshire, as the daughter of Llewella French (née Woolson) and Francis Fletcher Hodgman. She was trained as a singer, attending the New England Conservatory for several years.
