Summary:

"Pollyanna Grows Up" by Eleanor H. Porter is a novel written during the early 20th century. This sequel to the beloved "Pollyanna: The Glad Book" continues to follow the adventures of Pollyanna Whittier, a young girl who embodies optimism and a unique philosophy of finding joy in every circumstance. The book delves into her life as she grows older, encountering new challenges and relationships that test her unyielding positivity. The beginning of "Pollyanna Grows Up" introduces the reader to Della Wetherby, Pollyanna's sister-in-law, who is concerned about her sister, Mrs. Carew, who struggles with bitterness after the loss of her son, Jamie. Della seeks to lighten Ruth's spirit by suggesting they invite Pollyanna to stay with them. We learn of Pollyanna's adventures and her trademark "glad game," where she finds joy in every situation. The dialogue highlights Mrs. Carew's reluctance to accept Pollyanna's exuberance as she grapples with her sorrow. Della believes Pollyanna's cheerful outlook may help her sister emerge from her despondency, setting the stage for Pollyanna's impactful arrival and the challenges that will arise as she navigates her new environment.
