Summary

Joe Knight’s daydreams have turned into a nightmare. The new games teacher, Underwood, is even worse than his predecessor. Joe's best friend is leaving. And the worst of all: his parents have traded in his magical piano.
 
To get it back from creepy Mr. Riddle, Joe offers to work in his shop. He soon discovers the dark history of the piano, but Riddle is suspicious of his determination to reclaim the worn-out, battered old instrument, and Joe must be careful not to reveal his secret.
 
After befriending Lily, the two prove a formidable team. A metronome constructed with the piano gives them an opportunity to go back in time and set things on the right track... but its use comes with a warning.
 
Meanwhile, the Headmaster steps from the shadows, revealing an evil plan that places Joe, Lily and the entire world in grave danger.

    Eleanor Porter's Pollyanna is widely considered a classic of children's literature. Pollyanna is a kind novel advocating an optimistic outlook, which is summarized in a famous quote 'When you look for the bad in mankind expecting to find it, you surely will'. Pollyanna, a young orphan, is living with her stern aunt, who is taking care of her out of 'sense of duty'. Under any circumstances Pollyanna prefers to see only their best side, taking joy in simplest things, she affects everyone around her. Hence a popular term 'Pollyannaism', or the Pollyanna Principle, a subconscious bias towards the positive. The tale of Pollyanna will undoubtedly infect the reader with cheer and gladness.
