Pollyanna Grows Up

"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 her new town, and a very bitter woman. Along the way she makes new friends, and is courted by two childhood friends, Jimmy and Jamie.
