The books in this collection 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 grandmother,

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 some things about growing up

have changed, while others--like families,

friendships, 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.
