THE AMERICAN GIRLS COLLECTION. The books in this col1ection tell the stories of five American girls who lived long ago: Felicity, a spunky, spritely colonial girl, full of energy and independence, Kirsten, a pioneer girl of strength and spirit who settles on the frontier, Addy, a courageous girl determined to be free in the midst of the Civil War, Samantha, a bright Victorian beauty, an orphan raised by her wealthy grandmoter, Molly, who schemes and dreams on the home front during World War Two. You can share their worlds-their friends and families, their struggles and successes, their sad times and celebrations, their secrets and adventures. You'll see that somethings about growing up have changed, while others-like families,friends, and feelings - haven't changed at all. These are the important things that American girls will always share. They come alive for you in the American Girls Collection.
