Pollyanna Grows Up
After her recovery, Pollyanna moves to Boston and encounters a larger world filled with new friends, social expectations, and opportunities to help people beyond her Vermont town. She tries to preserve her glad game while learning that growing older means recognizing sorrow rather than simply talking around it. Romance and independence enter her life without erasing the relationships that formed her. Gentle and hopeful, this sequel suits a spring afternoon for readers who enjoy city adventures, emotional maturity, friendship, and optimism tempered by experience.
