Summary: Felicity is BORING!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Felicity is a tomboy trying to be ladylike in the seventeen hundreds. Where's the uniqeness in THAT? I reccomend all the other American Girls compared to Felicity. One thing that most f the raders don't realise is that Felicity is a fictional character. In Happy Birthday Felicity(!), Brits are trying to steal all the gunpowdre in the Williamsburg magazine and Felicity has to warn all of Wiliamsburg when thwe gunpowder gets stolen. HULL-OOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Wouldn't that go down in history? right next to the Boston tea party? I've looked in all the social studys books I've been issiued (since the second grade. I am currently in sixth grade.)and have NOT found anything about that night. Honestly, Valarie Tripp needs to think about that sort of thing before putting it on paper. I reccomend all the other American girls. Or better yet, two other historical seiries! The Girlhood Journeys series and the Dear America series. They are 10xbetter!You can read my other reveiws for the books in that series (all by A Reader in Florida). And that is what I think about Filicity!

Summary: I'll never get over the American Girls.
Review: It seems like most people who review these books are either in the age range which the books are written for or are parents who read them with children. I'm sixteen and I read these when I was nine, but I picked them up again recently and they're just as good as I remembered. People say they're a good introduction to history, which is true in certain ways. But if you want books that simply make you happy, get ahold of these, no matter how old you are.Regarding Felicity specifically, she's a lot of fun, although the other characters in the series are more realistic. In the first book, Felicity is able to ride an abused horse after spending only a little more than a month with the horse. I don't think a frightened horse would trust a person that quickly, no matter how kind the person is. Even so, this is a wonderful story for nine-year-old girls since so many see horses as fantasy creatures. When you read this--especially if you're an experienced horse person--remember to look at it in the context of who it's written for. If you look at all of these books as a young child would, it's easier to see them for what they are: stories with wonderful characters who we can relate to and be envious of at the same time. In a nutshell, the entire American Girls series is an excellent interpretation of how life is and how it should be.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: My 8yr. old daughter and I read these books together and found them to be a classic to treasure for childhood. The discriptive language was easy to understand and appreciate, it's a good example for beginning creative writing. We truly enjoyed the adventures and the historical facts mixed in with a young girl that my daughter could relate with and look forward to with each chapter.!

Summary: I thought it was sweet
Review: The Felicity books portray very nicely the life of a colonial girl. The stories are unique, sweet, and fun with a twist of adventure in them. I liked all the Felicity books, except the first one, Meet Felicity. It was good, but it wasn't very believable. There's a man who's beating a horse Felicity loves, and she sneaks out every morning for 5 weeks while it's still dark to visit the horse-- and her parents don't even notice she's acting weird. But, if you want to read the series, the books explain things really well. You can start with the 2nd book (Felicity learns a lesson) and pick right up on the story.

Summary: My FAVORITE books!
Review: This collection of books about Felicity, a girl in colonial America, is a wonderful chronology of the life and times of people in America's earliest history. The stories are simple, but sweet and often touching.
