American Girl. Pleasant Company. ISSN:1062-7812
Price :$27.00 for 6 issues
Reader's Annotation: Created just for tweens, American Girl is an age-appropriate alternative to teen magazines.
Summary: American Girl magazine has all the same stuff teen magazines have, but with the content dialed down to be appropriate for tween readers. There are feature stories, quizzes, advice columns, games and crafts, and content developed by readers. Each issue is organized around a central theme, such as "pets" or "save the Earth," and has 40-70 pages of ad-free content. The articles are upbeat and focus on girls developing their self-esteem, without being overly preachy.
Genre: magazine, friends, family, identity, siblings
Series : This magazine is published by the American Girl folks, but it doesn't connect with their historical fiction series in any way.
Why it belongs in a Tween Collection: This is a magazine that tweens enjoy reading (all the issues at my library are falling apart they've been read so often) and the most parents will get behind as a reading option. The articles are smart and positive.
