The Glad Books, Part 2

Pollyanna’s Jewels, by Harriet Lummis Smith, is the fourth Glad Book. It follows Pollyanna of the Orange Blossoms, which is also by Smith. Either book three covers at least five years, which I kind of doubt, or Pollyanna’s Jewels skips ahead a few years. It starts with Pollyanna and Jimmy moving to a suburb of Boston with their three kids: Jimmy Junior, who is five or six, Judy, who is probably three, and the baby, who is only ever referred to as “Baby”.

The Glad Books, Part 1

My room is full of new bookshelves, and they look very clean and nice. The rest of the room, however, is a mess. I’m not quite sure whether it’ll get worse before it gets better, or whether I’ve just passed the middle point.

While I’ve been working on my room, I’ve also read a couple of Pollyanna books that I got from my grandparents’ apartment last summer, which is probably why I haven’t made as much progress as I ought to have.
