You do a great job presenting history in a fun way. It’s what well written stories for young people should do & you are one of the best at this. Keep up the good work!

Oh no! How can there be a traitor in Caroline’s family shipyard?? I love the use of that word in the title… I think it will encourage interesting discussion for readers young and old as this word may not be familiar to younger readers. I can’t wait to read it!

I’ve been an AG fan since I was a little girl, and now with kids of my own, I’m eager to embrace the newest historical character, Caroline!
February 19, 2013 at 2:24 pm |
Oh how exciting! Thanks for this chance to win! I just love Caroline’s time period!
February 19, 2013 at 2:48 pm |
I once wanted to be a writer and discovered how hard it is! I admire your skill and persistence in bringing great books to publication readiness. I’d love to win an autographed copy. I think the American Girl focus on women and girls in history is truly wonderful. I wish such books had been available when I was a kid. Our history classes focused exclusively on the deeds of adult men in wars, world exploration, and government. I remember a blur of “killing and conquering” and developed a strong dislike of history that persisted for many years. I love the many forms that AG is now using, from the royal diaries to the mysteries and more.
Thanks for all your contributions to sharing history with girls!

Dear Kathleen,
Caroline is such a wonderful character and my niece absolutely loves her! She is an avid reader and has spent many hours in the library reading American Girl books. Caroline has become her favorite of them all. Owning a personalized copy of ‘Traitor in the Shipyard’ would mean the world to her. Nothing better than a good book!
