Customer Reviews

This is a wonderful series
I am currently reading these books to my daughter who just turned five. We are both really enjoying them. I know the recommended age is seven and up but these books are great even before then but be prepared to discuss it also. My daughter can't wait to find out what Addy is going to do next. I think that these books are a great foundation for young girls. It can help them understand history as well as know that they can make a difference in the world no matter how small they are. We are working our way through the different American Girl series but I definately recommend the Addy books to everyone young and old. I think the history section at the end of each book is fabulous and really puts it in language a child can understand. It also helps that they relate the history to Addy since she is someone your child "knows" after reading the books.

Best of all American Girl series - couldn't put them down.
We have enjoyed all the AG series, but for sheer excitement and emotional wallop, nothing could possibly beat this story of a girl who escapes from slavery, only to find prejudice and exclusion in her life of freedom. Her father and brother had been sold away from the plantation, and baby sister had to be left behind. Will they be reunited? These books don't sugarcoat. Yet there is hope and triumph for Addy. We found the Addy books to be absolutely outstanding story-wise, as well as a great starting point for discussion of one of our country's more horrifying chapters in history.

American Girl Addy
Having two bookworm granddaughters the American Girl books have provided a warm bonding time for us. Learning of the civil war through the eyes of a young save girl, escaping to freedom, only to work as hard as every and searching for family to once again be together. This is a "one more page please grandma" book. My granddaughters know when the Civil War ended, they know the hard ship of slavery thanks to these books. We shared tears with Addy and her mother when Sam and Father were sold. We shared the Joy of freedom and the work of a Victory garden .These books are a wonderful learnning tool as well as entertaining. We plan on reading each set together.
