Just David (Version 2)

Just David, written by Eleanor H. Porter, follows a 10-year-old boy named David who is uprooted from his isolated mountain home to a small rural town. Raised in a world filled with music and beauty, David's kind and loving nature challenges the villagers' perceptions and gradually transforms their lives. The novel, published in 1916, shares themes of innocence, the power of music, and the importance of seeing beauty in everyday life, reminiscent of Porter's earlier work, Pollyanna.
