3 new American Girl Mysteries

1/6/2012

_ American Girl is going to publish 3 new mysteries!!!!!!  The mysteries will be released on February 28, 2012.  Now that I have told you that there are going to be 3 new mysteries, I am sure you are wondering who the mysteries are going to be about!!

The 1st mystery is going to be CECILE REY'S first mystery!  Here is the cover.  The title is "The Cameo Necklace" and is written by Evelyn Coleman .

Picture
_ Here is Amazon's description for Cecile's mystery: "As Cécile exits a crowded showboat after enjoying a lavish Floating Circus, she stumbles--and when she gets up, she realizes that the cameo necklace she borrowed from her aunt is no longer on her neck. Knowing that the necklace was the last gift Tante Tay's husband gave her before he died, Cécile is desperate to find it. As she tracks down the people in the crowd who were near her when she fell, her search takes her into many corners of New Orleans, from a society tea party to the crowded French Market, even the dangerous cypress swamps...and deep into secrets she never imagined! An illustrated Looking Back essay provides facts about the 1850s.".  I am not sure why Amazon is spelling Cecile's name that way, but I decided not to mess with it...

The 2nd mystery is going to be MARIE-GRACE GARDNER'S first mystery!!  The title is "The Hidden Gold", and is written by Sarah Masters Buckey... one of my favorite AG authors!!

Picture
_ Here is Amazon's description for Marie-Grace's mystery: "Marie-Grace can't wait to begin her journey up the Mississippi River with her father. The steamboat they're traveling on is the biggest and fanciest boat Marie-Grace has ever seen. It's crowded with all sorts of interesting passengers, including Wilhelmina Newman, a girl her age. Wilhelmina is traveling alone, and she's carrying a secret in one of her trunks--clues to hidden Gold Rush treasure. Marie-Grace and Wilhelmina have to unravel the clues to find the gold--and they're not the only ones looking for it! An illustrated "Looking Back" essay provides facts about the 1850s."

The 3rd mystery (and the last that I know about) is REBECCA RUBIN'S mystery!!!  It is called "The Crystal Ball", and it is written  by Jacqueline Dembar Greene!

Picture
_ Here is Amazon's description for Rebecca's mystery: "Rebecca and her neighbor, Mr. Rossi, seem to be having bad luck. When Mr. Rossi sprains his wrist, Rebecca takes over the care and feeding of his pigeons--and discovers a strange black pigeon with an eerie message warning Mr. Rossi of danger. Where did the pigeon come from, and what sort of danger is lurking? Is Rebecca herself now in danger as well? Only a visit to a fortune teller will reveal the truth!"

I was on Amazon the other day to purchase McKenna's books (Kindle Edition) and saw these.  I went back Wednesday evening to capture these, deciding I ought to share them with you.  I did change the description font color to black so it would stand out, but I didn't do anything else to the description of the books.  The screen captures are directly from Amazon.com, and I do NOT own the images. 

I am so excited to see the new mysteries, and can't wait to read them.  What do you think about the new mysteries?  Are you excited to read them?  If you do read them, I would love to hear your thoughts.  You can email a Review to agpixplace@gmail.com, and I will be sure to post it. 

Have a great Friday,
Lily

Yesterday I came across American Girl's Girl of the year 2012, McKenna Brooks' book covers and description.  Here are the 2 books and the descriptions for each.  THESE PHOTOS AND DESCRIPTIONS ARE DIRECTLY FROM AMAZON.COM
Picture
Here is the description for the 1st book:
"Ten-year-old McKenna has always been a good student-and great at gymnastics. So when her grades suddenly begin to fall, her teacher suggests a little extra help from a tutor. McKenna is horrified until she meets her tutor, Josie, a super-confident girl who also happens to be in a wheelchair. Josie encourages McKenna to focus on her strengths and work toward her goals one day at a time. But just as McKenna begins to shine in school, she's sidelined with a gymnastics injury--and her confidence unravels. Now she's worried about her grades and earning a spot on the competitive gymnastics team. Can she find a way to believe in herself again?" Amazon.com.

Here is the book description for the 2nd book:
"McKenna's cast is coming off soon, but she still has to get through tryouts for the Shooting Star competitive gymnastics team. She's finally doing better in school, thanks to Josie's tutoring. When Josie needs help facing her fear of horseback riding, McKenna wants to be there for her friend. Only that causes trouble with her gymnastics teammate Toulane, who seems jealous when McKenna spends time with Josie. McKenna desperately wants to be true to both of them. But how can McKenna cheer for Josie at the riding center, support Toulane at the gym, and work toward her own goal of making the competitive team?" Amazon.com
Here are the links for the 2 books on Amazon.  http://www.amazon.com/Girl-Year-2012-American-Today/dp/1593699948/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1325258816&sr=1-2 (the 1st book)

I can't wait to see the doll although  I doubt I will get her! :0)

Have a great day.  I'll be posting some photos of Cecile later today.
