This is one of my favorite American Girl books. Brit Bennet has written such a rich and interesting world for Claudie. I am so curious about all the characters and can’t wait to read more!

When I was in Chicago, I went to the American Girl store. I was an adult when AG dolls came out and only had boys so other than reading a book or two along the way, I've not spent any time with them. At the store, I was very intrigued by the Harlem Renaissance setting of Claudie as well as the fact that Brit Bennett wrote the book. A purchase followed and I read it in one day. Well done and I enjoyed the setting and tackling of issues at this level. Will keep an eye out for the others and now I have costume envy on the clothes!

It’s a nice start to the series, but I didn’t see much plot. I’m very glad I already have the second book.

Ends rather abruptly, like the author wrote one long story and then cut it into sections at random, and this is just the first section. Otherwise good, and Claudie is so charming and sweet.
