Evaluation: I really enjoyed these books as a child, and I have the Samantha doll myself from when I was little. This series does give an idea the time period to which the story was set, and even though the characters are not real, it gives an idea the clothing, the morals, the society and how people were viewed back then. The series has many different eras, and it is very popular among young girls.
Samantha was always my favorite American girl! I remember reading all of these books when I was little.
