[Marian · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you're looking for a quick way to show how the American Girl characters have worked to change things, big and small, in their lives and make a difference, this is a pretty good starting place. The art is fantastic and while nothing is expanded on, it's a perfect way to tie their stories together and show that everyone is capable of doing more than they dared dream possible.

But seriously, the art is fantastic.

I know this isn't like an "official" American Girl book, but I love seeing the girls drawn in new styles and the emphasis on helping your community.
