American Girls

Girl Power!
The American Girls Make History Exciting


American History. It conjures up visions of facts, dates and reports. Not your cup of tea? Well, there are lots of books around these days that can make you change your mind. There are books that even make American History fun to read about. One of the series that does it best is the American Girls Collection from Pleasant Company.

Seven girls (Felicity, Josefina, Kirsten, Addy, Samantha, Kit and Molly), each from seven different periods of U.S. history, star in stories about their lives. You'll be so wrapped up in the girls' adventures, their families, and their friends, you might not even notice that you're learning tons of stuff about pioneer days, Victorian times, or the Civil War era.  

And the authors have just as much fun writing these books as you do reading them. Connie Porter, author of the books about Addy, tells us just how much fun in our Q&A interview.

So what are you waiting for? Jump into the past and have a blast!
