"Of all the American Girl books, Molly's stories were the ones that bridged the generation gap between me and my mom. She and I cried together at Changes for Molly and laughed ourselves silly at Meet Molly. Changes for Molly still brings a tear to my eye with a re-read as a young adult. It probably always will."

    " These are really interesting books that tell you a lot about what it was like to be on the home-front during WWII. But I though Molly was kind of rude throughout the books. "

    " Molly was always my favorite. Probably because she wears glasses. I love these books. And they had great pictures too, and facts about the era that the girls lived in. So great. I might have to go out and buy them so I can reread them. "

    " Molly was absolutely the most boring of the American girls when I was a kid. She lived during a fascinating time period, but her every day life was just too similar to mine. The evidence of rationing and the war wasn't very obvious and Molly was pretty dull otherwise. "
