Porter : Pollyanna Grows Up: Premium Edition - Illustrated before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Pollyanna Grows Up: Premium Edition - Illustrated: 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. If you enjoyed the book or movie Pollyanna, you will find this a wonderful continuation of the story.By Phyllis DorringtonI loved the movie as a child, and found the book to be beautifully written. Porter's novel is much richer than the movie with its depth of character and its message. The book challenges us to step outside of our preconceived boxes and treat all with respect. I read it on the plane to the east coast and found myself smiling and shedding tears of both joy and sadness. Well worth reading.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good SequelBy S. DavisI had never read the Pollyanna stories before. I had seen the Disney adaptation, but not read the books. I didn't even know that there was a second book. I'm no youngster, but I thoroughly enjoyed these books. The original, of course, was the best; but the sequel was very good, too. I'm "glad" that they didn't try to bring Pollyanna's "game" too much into the story. She's 20 years old when this book takes place. I loved the characters and the "mystery" of Jamie's identity. I enjoyed the original Pollyanna. It had some events like the Disney movie, but it went deeper into personalities, etc. This sequel was well written, and even had some romance. I enjoyed this book thoroughly.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fifty years after the Disney Movie, I finally meet the real Pollyanna!By Baird-GreeneI loved the Disney film with Hayley Mills based on this book. I recently saw the Masterpiece Theatre adaptation where Pollyanna's story is moved to England. Finally, I decided to read the book. This edition is a bit odd in that the copyright date is given as 2009. Pollyanna was originally published in 1913. I wish there had been a foreword about the book with information about the author. This edition is just the book with nothing added or taken away. The cover drawing is not credited. If I'd done it, I'd not want anyone to know. It's frankly hideous and makes Pollyanna look like a goblin. All that aside, for a children's book that was written over a century ago, I adored the story of Pollyanna. It held my interest, was well-written, and had excellent character development. Pollyanna and her "glad game" change everyone who is fortunate enough to know her. When tragedy strikes, all the people whose lives she's brightened, come to Miss Polly to let her know how much Pollyanna means to them and how her enthusiasm and gratitude expressed in the "glad game" have changed their lives. There is a happy ending for everyone. It's too bad that the word "Pollyanna" has come to mean a foolish optimist. The world needs more Pollyannas. I highly recommend this book. Why buy our paperbacks? Standard Font size of 10 for all books High Quality Paper Fulfilled by Amazon Expedited shipping 30 Days Money Back Guarantee BEWARE of Low-quality sellers Don't buy cheap paperbacks just to save a few dollars.

Porter Pollyanna Grows Up is a 1915 children's novel by Eleanor H. Porter. It is the first of many sequels to Porter's best-selling Pollyanna (1913), but is the only one written by Porter herself; the numerous later additions to the Pollyanna franchise were the work of other authors. Pollyanna, now cured of her crippling spinal injury, spends her time teaching the "glad game" to new town, and a very bitter woman, Mrs. Carew. Along the way she makes new friends, such as Sadie and Jamie: Jamie is a delicate literary genius whose withered legs compel him to rely on a wheelchair and crutches. Six years later, Pollyanna and her aunt fall upon hard times. Following the death of Dr. Chilton, as a means of making money, Pollyanna and her aunt are forced to take in the friends Pollyanna made six years earlier as boarders. However, there are many skeletons lurking in people's closets, causing numerous misunderstandings and many revelations, including how old childhood friend Jimmy 'Bean' Pendleton ended up alone.
