American Girl Doll News

The modern era American Girl Historical character 14'5 inch dolls are now available for preorder. All 6 original historicals are available in this format, including Felicity, who wasn't in the preorder listings, and they are one-day only Berry rewards exclusives.

An untitled American Girl book with no author listed has been scheduled for October 13, 2026. My original hunch was that this was going to be Girl of the Year 2027's book, but it is 256 pages, which is double the amount of a normal Girl of the Year book. I have a bit of an unhinged theory, but it might be possible. Earlier this year, Mattel announced the first ever Barbie novel targeted to young adults, written by New York Times bestselling author Alex Aster, who primarily writes young adult fiction. I'm curious if there is going to be an American Girl book targeted towards young adults and adult collectors - but either way, whatever this is will be a surprise!

I went to the American Girl store yesterday and got some pictures of the new items!

The Doll of the Month for February 2026 is Chrissa Maxwell! Chrissa Maxwell moves to a new school in the middle of the year, and the girls in her fourth-grade class are decidedly unfriendly. On the advice of her grandmother, Chrissa tries first to be nice, and then to ignore the mean girls. But they just won't quit, and when the teasing turns into serious bullying, Chrissa must find the courage to stand strong and speak out.

According to Amazon.ca , the modern reimaginings of historical American Girl dolls Samantha, Molly, Kirsten, Addy and Josefina are going to release on March 14. Stay tuned!
