Welcome to the board! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I also started getting into American Girl when I was beginning to read and found that I started loving history because of it. I love history in school now, and I know it's because of American Girl.

I've read each Historical's set of books, and I have to say that each one is so different. There's a different lesson to be learned in each girl's world. You learn the good things and bad things that have happened in American History, whether it's how the English chased away Kaya and her fellow Native Americans and forced them to adapt the English culture or how unequal Addy and her family were treated during the Civil War, and it's fascinating. I love the idea that you can learn things AND have fun at the same time. (Which is something that a certain teacher of mine never did last year!)
