My daughter came home from school SO excited to tell me about the story her teacher was reading to the class. It was Addy's Story. She told me in detail about what was happening to Addy. She said, "Mom, I can't WAIT to hear what happens next to Addy!"
Her teacher said even to boys in her class love this story.She said she reads it every year to her class. My daughter and I read the rest of Addys's store in 1 weekend! How can you NOT love something that your 8 year old is so excited about!

What I enjoyed most about the Addy series was that it talks about friendship and being a leader. It tells you about how a child would feel in slavery, but in a positive way. Addy and her family try to stay happy no matter how bad things get. I think Addy would inspire any girl to become a leader.

I got this (and Kirsten's Story Collection) thinking it would be nice to have the six books in one volume for my daughter. After I got it I realized that five of the six historical lessons had been omitted from the collection. Since the historical lessons are part of the value of the books I was disappointed. I'll be selling both collections and buying the hardcover books individually.

Superb collection of the six volume stories about Addy, the delightful young girl born into slavery who escaped to freedom in 1864. Wonderful to have a single hardcover volume with all the stories. Very good pricing, especially at Amazon. However, you should know that the historical sections found at the end of each of the six stories in the bookset are not included in this volume. Only one historical section is at the very end. Still excellent and super value. A book to be treasured!

I grew up reading American Girl books and I was thrilled to find that all six books were combined into 1 big book and that each girl had her own book. Addy was always one of my favorite American Girls. She and her family were slaves but were able to gain their freedom over time. They had to deal with not only having to start a new life with almost nothing but also familial seperation, discrimination, etc. Great book and it's very easy to read.

i brought this book for my 8 yr old grandaughter who is really into american girl she has almost every collection and enjoys reading but this book actually touched her heart i would recommend it to anyone young and old

These books are really good my daughter loves them and she wants to read more

I just gave this to my daughter as a birthday gift. You cannot go wrong with these books. They are all so good. It is great that all six are now bound in one hard cover.

This is a great American Girls' book. The author put a lot of emotion into this book and her writing makes you fall in love with the characters. You will learn more about the Civil War and what it was like to be a slave. I think every girl should read this book. (A great History supplement!)
