This year, American Girl released a new book series in their partnership with Scholastic, called "Real Stories From My Time." It has factual information about a historical event, such as the Titanic shipwreck of 1912. In between chapters, there is an ongoing story involving the BeForever characters.

In The Titanic, Samantha's story is that Nellie, Aunt Cornelia, and William are on The Titanic when it wrecks, and Samantha, Jenny, and Bridget are left to worry. Samantha recounts the time she, Nellie, Grandmary, and Admiral Beemis sailed on Queen Caroline five years prior, and her time exploring the ship. She mentions how the news is full of stories of Irish passengers. She recalls how she and Nellie uncovered the truth of how the lower-class are treated badly by the rich. The news is full of death reports, which makes Samantha even more nervous. Samantha, Bridget, and Jenny try to stay hopeful. They receive a telegram from Aunt Cornelia that she, Nellie, and William are safe, and will be home soon.
The End!
I haven't wanted to read an AG book in years, and so I might need to get this and The Boston Tea Party. (Gotta get Lissie's books! She's my fav next to Molly)
My only issue is that her Central Series takes place in Summer of 1904 and ends in February of 1906. She was nine in 1904, so that means in 1912 she'd be... 17?! I'm not sure how I feel about that...

That does seem a little odd in some ways that Samantha would be older then, but maybe that was AG's idea to have those books follow the doll's life as they get older...
As for the Felicity book about the Boston Tea Party, I really enjoyed reading it and your blog post was what made me check it out, the only cannon error it had was that it made it unable for Felicity to be shocked about the Boston Tea Party because she saw and experienced it and in the book she had only just heard about it, but other than that I LOVED reading that book.
Your blog post was really fun and nice to read,
