Saige (American Girl Today, 1)

American Girl are the good source, education books for all children. They learn so many things in the book. After you read this book, don't miss other American Girl books. They have Julie set, Molly, Samantha, Emily, etc....... They are all interest, and good to read all.

This is a lovely book and demonstrates that fine literature for young people does not have to be "edgy," in the sense of including sex, drugs, crime, abuse etc. Saige and her family do have problems but they are the kind of problems that functional families have, such as her grandmother becoming seriously injured and her school art program being cut from the education budget. The story is engaging and well written, and the illustrations are terrific. I highly recommend this book for all girls from ages 8 on up into their tweens.

When I gave this to my granddaughter, Sage, for her birthday, I had no idea the story was set in New Mexico, where we all live! The girls even look alike! What fun it is to read about places that she knows firsthand! Couldn't be more perfect and I am hoping to inspire her love of reading!

My 9 year became hooked on American Girl at the end of her 1st grade year. She really liked this one. Of course it was right up her alley. Horses and art. I think a lot of American girl's can relate to loving these 2 things. I personally have come to know and love the American Girl line. I know I can trust the content and situations to be appropriate for younger girls but still valid for today's world.

Girls who enjoy riding horses and painting will learn a technique or two in this book. I rated 4 stars because it had a unique setting (Albuquerque, New Mexico), and has some great facts throughout the book. And also, at the end, it includes some bonus letters from girls just like you, and a true story, along with a sneak peek at the second book. Girls of all ages who are fans of American Girls, this book is for you.

GRANDDAUGHTER LOVES THESE STORIES !!!! WHOLESOME AND HEART-WARMING !!!! A WONDERFUL READ FOR LITTLE GIRLS, SHE'S 8 YRS OLD. THIS IS ONE COMPANY THAT UNDERSTANDS CHILDREN ARE CHILDREN !!!!! NO TRASH HERE ! THANK YOU AMERICAN GIRLS WITH ALL MY HEART !!!!! A Grandmom

It was really good . It's perfect for long drives and you just want to read more ! It's super great for me to learn more about her because I might get her for my birthday . Great for girls birthdays or present . That's why I think it's a five star rating

I liked reading American Girl books because, they make me feel that I'm not the only one who has had problems with other people. I believe that you can get the best out of others when you become better friends with them. I loved reading this book and I'll read the next one too.

This is a wonderful story for young & old alike, I can always count on American Girl for good wholesome reading!

not really enjoyed by my 8 yr old. too many americanisms but given that it is a book about an american girl in america written by an american, one should expect that but try explaining that to a frustrated 8 yr old
