 Well...... November 26, 2008
Its not that I hated Molly McCintire's character, although I thought she and her siblings needed to be kinder to one another and I wondered why her mother allowed them act like that, but the problem is her books are so...boring. br / I don't find myself very excited about her story. It would've been more interesting if she did something exciting for her country! Her story takes place in war, right? And another thing, why can't the news of the war affect Molly a little more? Why can't she stand up strong for her country? I know exciting things were short to come by because she's not really in a battlefield, but come on, make the books more tantilizing! I have trouble finishing them when I read them, I just can't force myself to stick to it! br / I am in no way saying other people can't like it, you can like it if you want, its your choice. But for myself I found this collection so bland.
 Wonderfully written, beautifully illustrated. November 14, 2008
The American Girl series greatly impacted me as a child, and continue to do so as an adult. My seven year old and five year old nephews just love listening to the stories about Molly. They love the history and they love the illustrations. I recommend this series to anyone...young or old, boy or girl.

Molly is very likeable. We read her late in the series and found it not as interesting as some others in the sets, but were not let to skip a night while into it.
Can't go wrong April 4, 2008
I don't think you can wrong with the American Girl books. The stories are wonderful. If you can't afford the hard cover these are just as wonderful. Keep them in the box and the books will stay nice and neat for many hours of reading.br /br /We especially love the Molly books because it is close enough in history that our daughters can relate (this happened when grandma was a girl).

I bought this set of books for my daughter's 8th birthday. She loved them. We read them together. I usually read for us but my daughter read some to me. She really could relate to Molly. Some parts I thought we silly but I am over 30 now. I like how it gets my daughter and myself into history and learning new things. Molly lived during World War 2 and her father, a doctor, was over in England. The family has their problems and miss their dad but keep doing their part at home. Molly is my daughter's new favorite. We have read many of the other American Girl books and will continue!
