I gave this to my daughters (ages 9 and 6) yesterday as an early Christmas present. They got it when they got home from school and did not want to quit playing it. They said it is a lot of fun. The 6-year old had a little bit of trouble with some of the reading of tasks you were supposed to perform, but once someone helped her with the hard words, she was able to complete the tasks. If you have a daughter that likes American Girl dolls and DS games, this is a great combination.

My 10-year old niece LOVED receiving this game, collects AG dolls and received Julie from another relative. Games within DS included "making crafts" like beading a necklace, she thought it was interesting to do this via the DS when she enjoys making crafts herself.

I gave this game to my daughter for her 12th birthday. In one day, she's played it about 3 or 4 hours. She really likes it, but she's about 2/3 of the way through the story. I don't think she'll play it much once she's finished, so I think she'll get at most about 10 hours of play from it.

My daughter is one who has never cared much for the American Girl books about the characters (though she likes the magazine, dolls and accessories), but she said this is much more fun than the "Meet Julie" book would be. She likes getting to choose what Julie wears, and completing the various missions. She says the mini-games aren't too hard, and some of them are pretty fun.

The only other DS game she really likes is Animal Crossing.

She said her 8 year old brother wouldn't like it because the most violent thing that happens is a plant falls out a window!

My girls got this game for Christmas. The game requires a lot of reading and can be challenging at times. My 9 year old is 85% through the game. She likes the story mode better than the mini games. Some of the activities through out the story really require puzzle solving skills and creativity.

Unless you plan on playing it with your child, I recommend this to good readers only. You can read more about the game at http://www.dolldiaries.com.

I just got this game and I have played it for 4 in a half hours andit is a lot of fun I am 12 years of age. I got to say I did get stuck on the christmas present thing! Also I am stuck right know on the shopping for food!

My daughter, who also reads the Julie books and has the Julie doll, absolutely loves this game. She's new to the DS and plays this one more than any other game. I'm not sure if she'll play it much after the entire game is "solved" though... it seems like it may have less "longevity" than some of the puzzle style games.

This game is really fun. It involves a lot of reading, but still is fun. I would reccomend it to somebody who has read her series. The minigames can get hard, and the instructions are a little hard to understand. I reccomend it ages 8 and up.

My 8 yr. old daughter received this game for Christmas & can't get enough of it! She loves it!
She doesn't have a Julie doll but has a few other American Girl Dolls but it doesn't seem to matter to her!
Happy to find it on Amazon...looked everywhere for this game...ToysRUs, Walmart, Meijer, & KMart.

Purchased this for my daughter, and I didn't know that it existed! I was amazed when I found it on Amazon. My daughter loves this game and loves it even more since it is an American Girl item.

American Girl: Julie Finds a Way My granddaughter is very much into American Girl as well as Nintendo DS- She received the doll Julie as well as the video game and was very thrilled. We received the game promptly. The game is extremely difficult to go from one level to another. (My granddaughter is 10).
