Samantha Parkington is an orphan being raised by her wealthy grandmother at the start of a brand-new century, a time when new ideas and inventions are changing everyone's lives. Samantha's own world is filled with elegance and privilege, but she sees that not everyone's life is changing for the better - especially her friend Nellie, a servant girl who lives next door.
Some people consider mixing with servants bold and improper. But for Samantha, a person's worth isn't measured by wealth. True friendship is what matters most.

"It was nice rereading this set, in this gorgeous edition. As a kid, I found Samantha to be a spoiled little thing, but she grew on me when I started collecting dolls outside of Molly. Her stories are classics for my childhood, and I found them an endearing and quick reread." — Amanda (4 out of 5 stars)

" NO SHAME. I had her whole collection of stories (aka this book). I also have her nightgown. And the dress she wears in her first book. And the doll. And accessories. Whhaaaat, whaaat! I learned that American Girl things are expensive . . . but worth the price. "
" My decision about which dolls to get for the girls becomes more difficult! Samantha's stories are sweet. "
" i like this book because all the samantha books are short, but i could just keep going and going until all of them were over "
" Really good books. Samantha is a really cool girl "
" Samantha & I probably had the least in common, but I enjoyed her stories so much. All of these stories had true to life experiences in them, but countered the sad side with love and adventure. "
" At first it was kind of boring, but then it gets exciting. "
" this is a great book about Nellie a servant girl and her friend Samantha "
" I can see all young girls loving the American Girl series. Girls can relate to the personality of Samantha, as well as learn about life during that era through the historical fiction genre. "
" I find Samantha's speech on progress at the end of the book so inspiring and still, sadly, quite timely. "
" A childhood favorite; very interesting, but now it's not quite as good as when I was little. "
" Great book! My 9 year old is now reading this series and loving it. "
" Samantha happens to be my sisters name too. I have read the whole series but enjoyed this book. "
