Pollyanna

I'm not a very great fan of best-sellers, but one day a friend of mine and I were having a discussion about something I've already forgotten, and she made fun of one seeing the world in pink colors, and I didn't uderstand ti, so she told me it was because of Pollyanna, a very optimistic character from a silly children's book, she also told me not to read it, cause it was just too silly. But I'm curious and being a world literature classic, I just needed to check it and surprisingly I loved it! In this book we meet Pollyanna, a little girl with freckles and blond hair, she had already lost her mom, and now that her dad has also passed away, she is living with her aunt, who is very serious and strict, and despite being young and rich, she never seems happy and treats Pollyanna very coldly. Slowly our protagonist gets to melt her aunt's frozen heart, and she starts making changes in the whole city, its people are happier and it even becomes a good place to live. All thanks to the little girl's sunny personality and her Glad Game. I myself am very glad I could read this book, I think everybody should as well ♥
