We're less than a month away from the Girl of the Year 2025, Summer McKinny, so I figured I'd do a post compiling everything we know about her so far!
Summer is rumored to have blond hair with pink highlights, light skin, green eyes and glasses. If this rumor is true, she will be the fourth Girl of the Year to have colored highlights and the third one to have permanent highlights, after Isabelle Palmer (non-permanent), Luciana and Corinne. She will also be the fourth Girl of the Year to have blond hair and green/hazel eyes, after Lanie, Isabelle Palmer and Kira, and will be the third doll overall to wear glasses, after Molly and Z.
Summer's mold is currently unknown, but online predictions have theorized either the Marie-Grace mold or the Joss mold. Personally, I am predicting a Marie-Grace mold, because Isabel Hoffman also has blond hair, green eyes and the Joss mold, and she just came out last year.
It was revealed that Summer has an animal theme, and my first theory was an animal shelter. However, the more recent rumors have revealed that Summer is an entrepreneur and has her own dog-walking, grooming and treat-baking business, called Waggy Pup Tails. This makes Summer the second Girl of the Year to be an entrepreneur, after Grace exactly 10 years before her.
There is also rumored to be an animal shelter in Summer's story that she volunteers at!
Another fun fact is that Grace's friends, Maddy and Ella, initially wanted a dog walking and grooming business instead of a baking business, and Summer's story is about her doing the same things all 3 of Grace and her friends wanted - baking, walking and grooming!
Summer's story in her novel is rumored to be about her joining forces with her friend Daisy, who runs a cat toy making business, to work together to make enough money to go to animal camp, but differing views on how to do things interfere with their plan and their friendship.
Daisy is rumored to be the owner of Licorice!
I have heard rumors that Daisy will be released as a best friend doll to Summer, but I doubt that because Daisy's name hasn't been trademarked like Summer's has.
There are several rumored items that could potentially be in her collection:
A cart for selling Summer's dog treats and Daisy's cat toys
A pink and purple jacket, white shirt, purple pants and rainbow
A black dog
A dog grooming set with an apron, towels, soap and shampoo
A blue Waggy Pup Tails shirt and denim pants
A dog named Crescent
A cat named Fettuccine
Summer is rumored to be a Nanea mold. If this is true, she will be the first Girl of the Year with the Nanea mold, the second character doll after Nanea, and the third light skinned Nanea mold and the sixth overall.
Her meet outfit is rumored to be a rainbow tie-dye dress and tricolor sandals, and her meet accessories are rumored to be a pink headband, a bracelet, a dog-shaped purse, and a drink.
Summer is rumored to adopt a dog named Crescent from an animal shelter.
Summer is also interested in baking.
Here are some rumored details from Summer’s stories:
Summer wants to donate some of her dog walking profits to the animal shelter where she adopted Crescent.
Summer’s Aunt Olivia moves in to help while her mom travels, and she adds ideas to her business.
Olivia brings her cat, Fettecuine, which bothers Crescent, and Summer has to spend the events of her journal adjusting to Aunt Olivia’s arrival and helping Crescent and Fettecuine get along.
I am almost on the fence about rushing to get her knowing I have to save for the pink holiday doll, but knowing me I won't stop myself and just ge them both lol
…. Someone please tell me they weren’t the only one to not realize that Corinne had a unique face mold and was not Nanea. >.<
I wonder what state Summer McKinny' stories are going to take place in. We mostly get New York, California, Colorado, Minnesota, etc. I was hoping we would get a character in which her stories take place in a state in which American Girl has not yet covered like New Hampshire, Wyoming, Montana, and North Carolina. But I know that such states as Nebraska, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming have fewer populations are considered very remote. So that may be the reason why we never had an American Girl character who live in those states.
In one leaked image of her books, I see Summer playing fetch with a white dog (presumably Crescent) with autumn trees in the background. It cannot…
@Admin- Hi Sydney! Do we know a possible date yet that Summer might be released?
If anybody else has a clue feel free to respond!😊 Thanks!!!!😊
Guys since Grace is likely to be in Summer's books what do you think she’s up to right now? She would be about 19 today.
