American Girl Julie and the Blue Guitar Review

Writer's picture: AdminAdmin

I just read the new American Girl book Julie and the Blue Guitar! Here's my review of the graphic novel:


The novel was pretty good! It started out pretty slow, not going to lie, partially due to the novel's framing device of switching between time periods being not that great, but everything else was pretty good once I was able to get past that. Emma, the modern character from 2024, was pretty relatable, being a modern incarnation of Julie with a knack for mysteries and documentary filmmaking who just moved to San Francisco, and her passion for finding out where Julie is today was a nice parallel to the main story revolving around Julie, which gave me a lot of nostalgia to the old mystery series that American Girl put out for the historical characters before putting less of a focus on the book. It felt just like an older American Girl mystery - just in a new format. The art style was enjoyable and pretty to look at, and THE ENDING! (Spoiler alert - in 2024, Julie is apart of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors!) AAAA IT WAS SO COOL TO SEE JULIE TODAY! So yeah, I really enjoyed this and would recommend purchasing it to show American Girl that we want more books for the historicals!

I want to support it, but I don't like the modern crossover idea. I really just wanted a historical graphic novel.

The need for writing services is increasing every day. However, many of the offered services are simply fraudulent. Finding appropriate and fair service becomes increasingly difficult. I recently found Royalwriter.co.uk at a very inexpensive price. I am currently comfortable and relaxed as I read a completed assignment while lying in bed.

No one is talking about that store and that store is not what this post is about. Seriously, these bots are so annoying.

Yes, I definitely want more Historical character books. But not graphic novels, as I'm blind, can't read them, nor can my screen reader support them. If AG would make this a graphic Audiobook, that would be so awesome!! I would totally purchase this an any others. Kaya is my favorite character of all time, so if AG ever makes a graphic novel for her, I think that may break me!! Especially if it's an all new story like this one.

I wonder what Ivy, TJ, Joy, and Tracy are doing in 2024. I love to imagine that Ivy and her siblings would soon inherit their grandparents restaurant The Happy Panda. I wonder if Julie’s parents are still alive. I also like to imagine that Julie’s hair in the 1980’s would be frizzy which was the style at the time.
