Such a lovely and quick read. There was a bit too much religion for my personal taste, but overall the story has an important message and enjoyable characters. So glad that I picked up this book!
By the way the manga illustrations were perfect and made the story even more enjoyable ^_^
What if... Anne of Green Gables was a self-help parable.
Pollyanna is that joyful book character that we never find in contemporary children's literature. It was so refreshing to read this old story and revel in her ability to play the Glad Game, to find something good in any situation, and to see how this ability changed the lives of all who were around her.
Pollyanna, to my surprise, was not the priggish, bamby-pamby, goody-goody-two-shoes I'd been led to believe she was. Instead she was a real girl who actually put into action the ideas of joy and service to others in her everyday life. A delightful read.
