She introduces the "Glad Game", a way to find something positive in every situation, spreading joy and laughter throughout the community. The story explores themes of family, friendship, loss, and the importance of finding hope in difficult times. Pollyanna's infectious optimism challenges the cynicism and negativity prevalent in the town, leading to surprising and heartwarming outcomes.
