Samantha's Ocean Liner Adventure (American Girls Collection (Hardcover))

Rating:
Summary: A really different sort of book, excellently done
Review: This is another in the American Girls series about Samantha Parkington, a nine-year-old orphan girl living in the America of 1904. In this book, Samantha is invited to accompany her grandmother and the Admiral on a cruise from New York to London! Along the way, Samantha has adventures, meets new people, and learns a lot.

This book, though, is entirely different that any other Samantha book my daughter and I have read. It is in the form of a scrapbook that Samantha kept. Each page has text, and illustrations in the form of pictures and whatnot that a girl would attach to a scrapbook. In fact, there are eight souvenirs that can be removed from the book and played with by your own little American girl!

My eleven-year old daughter was absolutely delighted with this book. At first she enjoyed thumbing through it, and looking at the pictures and removable souvenirs. And then, she read the whole book and added it to her Samantha collection. This is a really different sort of book, excellently done. We highly recommend it.
