Addy: A Heart Full of Hope

In Addy: A Heart Full of Hope, “Having Poppa home fills Addy’s heart with happiness, and moving to a boarding house brings a new special friend–one who encourages Addy to always stay hopeful for the future. Then Addy enjoys the victory of having her idea chosen for a fair fundraiser, where a friendship is born, and the answer to a riddle brings a wonderful surprise. But will the rest of Addy’s family be reunited before the New Year?” (Connie Porter, 2014, 2020)

Looking Back at American Girl: The Removal of BeForever and the Return of the “Historical Characters”

This looking back section was originally published by American Girl Wiki in 2023. Visit americangirl.fandom.com to read the entire article and explore other articles.

In fall 2019, the line branding reverted to "Historical Characters," and revised, abridged Central Series books were released with illustrations returning (and created for characters initially released without). The first six characters revamped were Kaya, Rebecca, Nanea, Maryellen, Melody, and Julie; however, all current characters received new era-unique logos with their name and year focus. In 2020, Addy, Josefina, and Kit received the revised, abridged Central Series books with illustrations, with Samantha getting revised, abridged books in 2021 and 2022.
