GOTY 2015

The AG World has been buzzing about the GOTY, with theories, news, etc.
She has not came out yet, but we do know some things about her.

1. Her name is Grace; her name had been trademarked online.

2. Grace has two best friends, Ella (a math wiz), and Maddy (an artist). These names were released with the audition information for the movie, so I am not sure if they are just code names.

3. Grace is from Massachusetts. In the book description on Amazon, Grace lives in Massachusetts.

4. Grace is French. In the book description we know she goes to Paris with her mom, and visits her cousin.

5. Grace starts a French baking business with her friends. (Also in the Book Description). Her grandparents own a bakery that might be closing, which Grace wants to save.

6. Grace has a puppy which she will train. (Also in the Book Description).


Here are the Book Descriptions found on Amazon...

Book 1. 

Nine-year-old GOTY is always thinking up big ideas, like starting a business with her friends over the summer! When Mom announces a trip to Paris instead, GOTY gets on board, but it quickly seems as if none of her plans are working out the way she'd hoped. She and her French cousin aren't getting along, and GOTY's friends back home have started a business without her. Can she find the courage to stay open to new ideas and turn the summer around?

Book 2

Back home in Massachusetts, GOTY is excited to start a new French baking business with her friends, and to have an adorable new dog to train, too! But she quickly learns that both the business and the dog are big responsibilities, especially when her energetic pup has difficulty adjusting to her new home. GOTY does her best to give her pet what she needs to be happy. Can she also help her friends blend their unique talents, and whip up a recipe for a successful business?

Book 3 

When GOTY learns that her grandparents' bakery might be closing after 30 years, she's crushed. She can't imagine her life (or her hometown) without the bakery. And how can her own business survive if the one that inspired her cannot? GOTY wonders if she and her friends can find a way to help the bakery using their talents and newfound business skills. Can three girls really make a difference? GOTY is determined to try.

RUMOURS ON THE NEW AMERICAN GIRL HISTORICAL!

These rumors suggest that the new doll will be Historical, named Mary Ellen, and from the 50's.
  Personally, I am very excited because...
A.) I love historicals
B.) The leaked photos of the doll are 100% adorable
C.) The 50's are my FAVORITE time period! I love Audrey Hepburn, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra,
Mickey Mouse Club, Sock hops, Greasers, Drive-ins, Poodle Skirts, etc.

Who doesn't love the 50's!!!!!!!!

Before I show the pictures, I would like to talk about a few things.

Polio
Possibly this doll will have Polio.

Civil Rights Movement
Many people predict the doll's story will involve the Civil Rights Movement
but I do not think so. The Civil Rights Movement was from 1955-1968, which is
mainly in the 60's. If they do have a Civil Rights Movement Doll, she will probably live in the 1960's.
The Issue? Julie Albright, another American Girl is from 1974, roughly 10 years away.
 This is a close, so I do not think it will happen. Plus, when I think of the 50's, I picture sock hops,
poodle skirts, drive-ins, etc. I'm not saying a Civil Rights Movement Doll is a bad idea though.
I think she'd be pretty cool if they made one.


Here she is...

She is adorable. I love how original she is, I do not think I have ever seen a doll like her.
Her collection looks already so cute, and hopefully isn't too expensive. I can
tell she will have a lot of Mary Jane shoes in her collection!

Overall,
I think I will definitely get Mary Ellen and her outfits. They
are just too cute to pass up.
