What gives! I love the idea of two best friends getting equal billing! In the first Kirsten book, her best friend dies in her arms of cholera. I read this at age six and was scared for nearly a decade longer, convinced cholera would be more of a problem in my adult life than it ended up being.
Emily: Honestly, the only thing I remember about Kirsten are her braid loops. Rebecca is the rare doll where her background is more important than her historical era. Emily: The American Girl Historical Characters line has typically operated with one doll to represent one decade, with very little overlap. Nanea proves that there are plenty of overlapping stories to tell.
Petrana: Continuing my thoughts on Rebecca, Nanea is absolutely a bold step forward! She and Molly come from the same era, but her story is completely different. While American Girl should move forward in terms of decades seriously, everyone complaining about s Courtney being too recent needs to remember that it was 40 years ago , the franchise should embrace revisiting the same eras to tell different stories!
Nanea, as a native Hawaiian right around the Attack on Pearl Harbor, brings a starkly different perspective than Molly in the Midwest. She is another blonde white girl, but she gets a step up over the others because she is so modern — that is, until the s girl comes out.
She takes readers past whatever negative connotations they may put on the word slave. Petrana: Addy is a contentious figure, with some pointing to the uncomfortable fact that the only Black doll available at the time was born into slavery.
But the fact that she was one of the first American Girl dolls — and that her story was ultimately a triumphant one — should not be understated. But Addy was a first milestone. Emily: Kit has the advantage of being the only American Girl character with a theatrically released movie about her. Whatever she winds up doing, we love her ambition. The Revolutionary War-era girl is pretty revolutionary herself.
Melody gets high marks not only for her mod-awesome outfit and her Motown connects, but most importantly for her civil rights activism. Her character participates in demonstrations and sit-ins at the height of the civil rights movement in Detroit. Kit rules. She even hangs around the Cincinnati Register newsroom, won an award for her writing and had an article in a newspaper. Yeah, Kit! A nine-year-old Addy escapes slavery with her mother to Philadelphia.
Initially separated from the rest of their family, they ultimately reconnect but live in poverty. This Will Be the Amazon Coat of Does Hand Sanitizer Work? We Ask Hamptons Chicago San Francisco.
