Pollyanna

As soon as Pollyanna arrives in Beldingsville to live with her strict and dutiful maiden aunt, she begins to brighten up everybody's life. The 'glad game' she plays, of finding a silver lining in every cloud, transforms the sick, the lonely and the plain miserable - until one day something so terrible happens that even Pollyanna doesn't know how to feel glad about it.

Reviews

These girls are good role models for tweenies and the stories are just right for the generation that might not yet want to tackle the gritty nature of Jacqueline Wilson books

—— Birmingham Post

Another great book by Dhami . . . Readers will find it a funny, entertaining and pleasurable read

—— Shehrazade Emmambokus , writeaway.org.uk

A marvellous read ... that refuels the desire for justice and freedom

—— Jon Snow

Sometimes you have to break the rules, particularly when those rules are based on prejudice. Naidoo breaks the rules, producing books for young people which recognize that they want to know about the real world

—— Guardian

Genuinely enlightening ... gently moves the reader through areas that are hard to think about.
