I found two more pages on Amazon. Turns out Julie's nickiname is "Julu Bee". I didn't know that! And also, one of the pages says that Emma's parents split apart.

Hey this is also unrelated! I went to the Trademarkia website and I discovered this: it appears to be a circular silhouette of Kaya but it was trademarked last January. Nowadays we don’t have historical characters appearing in silhouettes like in the old days in books except for the American Girls collection with Kit, Kirsten, Addy, and Josefina. Here is the link.

So you mean this could be either Kaya or Josefina and their six books could be rereleased? That does seem possible. I hope or maybe they are doing this to some of the historicals maybe the first eight and Rebecca

@Admin Off topic but hoped to get your attention. I was just checking on the Disney princesses on the AG site. All the reviews are not golden. Wondered if you could investigate the AG responses to bad reviews?

I looked at the Ariel, Cinderella, and Tiana dolls reviews. Most of them are positive but Cinderella had the lowest ratings at 3.8 out of 5 stars. They say it’s the quality of the fabric of her ball gown. The same with Tiana. One person even had a broken box to go with Ariel. They also said they were disappointed in Ariel as well and wanted to lay off the Disney dolls. I know Mattel these days have fabrics of inferior quality like the Barbie dolls. I heard Barbie dolls from the 2000s had outfits made of better materials. Nowadays the fabric to make are too cheap.
