Girl of the Year

Introduced in 2001, American Girl's contemporary Girl of the Year characters are designed to give voice to a diverse range of personalities and backgrounds. Each modern-day character comes to life through her own special story that reflects her lifestyle, interests, and activities. The Girl of the Year books conclude with a "True Story" section featuring real American girls whose experiences provide a connection to the fictional characters, and demonstrate to girls that there is no limit to what they can accomplish. A new contemporary character is introduced each year.
