Samantha: The Next Chapter Available for Pre-Order

What did I say about an American Girl book targeted towards older readers literally yesterday?


The mysterious book on pre-order for October 13, 2026 has been revealed as a book titled Samantha: The Next Chapter, targeted towards adult collectors. This book is written by Fiona Davis, who is a New York Times bestselling author who writes historical fiction inspired by New York City.

Adult fans can continue Samantha Parkington’s story in this historical-fiction novel set in 1920 New York City. Now 25 years old, Samantha is working hard to educate women in New York about suffrage and encourage them to vote in their first presidential election that fall. But when Samantha’s large inheritance, including her childhood Mount Bedford home, is stolen in a shocking scheme, she goes from socialite to shop girl overnight and experiences a very different side of New York City living in a boarding house. Searching for clues regarding the theft of her inheritance, she infiltrates the business of a notorious criminal in New York City. Determined as ever, Samantha will do whatever it takes to find answers and save her family’s legacy.


The book is available for pre-order, for release on October 13.

Where is Uncle Gard in all this!?! If she has to move into a boarding house than does that mean Uncle Gard and Aunt Cornelia are not there? Are they also out of money? Or dead 😵? I need my 20th century power couple in this.

I just really hope they include Nellie. If they ignore Nellie it’s not canon,

I was so sad that they didn’t include Nellie and her sisters in Raquel’s story! She is one of my favorite characters and I needed to know what happened to her lol.

very interesting I wonder if there'll also be any hints at who she married like Id love a romance novel as well.

Yeah I suspect that too! There is a possibility we might find out who Raquel’s great-great-grandfather is. Given the fact that Samantha loses her inheritance we can theorize she married someone beneath her. I think that once she gets the inheritance back she used it to establish a girls school intending on not coming back to the socialite lifestyle.
