'''Addy: Finding Freedom''' is a bound, abridged book of the first three books of [[Addy Walker|Addy]]'s original [[Central Series]]. It was included with [[Addy Walker (doll)|the Addy doll]] until her doll returned to the Classic outfit look, and it is now available separately.<br />
<br />
==Stories Included==<br />
<br />
* [[Meet Addy]]<br />
* [[Addy Learns a Lesson]]<br />
* [[Addy's Surprise]]<br />
<br />
==Changes from ''Finding Freedom''==<br />
<br />
* The front of the book has a map of the [[Locations in Addy's Series#Stevens' Plantation|Stevens' Plantation]] (which is actually a picture from [[Welcome to Addy's World]]) as well as a return of the character portraits. <br />
* A paragraph on the table of contents explains that Addy's story is written in a dialect that reflects the way African Americans spoke at the time (an older form of [[Wikipedia:African-American Vernacular English|Black Vernacular English]]), though not exactly (as it would be difficult to read). This also covers the truth that racial slurs that would have been used frequently for African Americans are also not included. <br />
* Any included illustrations of Addy's first "freedom dress" are changed from the [[Addy Walker (doll)#First Edition|cinnamon pink dress]] to the [[Addy Walker (doll)#BeForever Version|blue ribboned dress]], with the exception of an illustration on the table of contents page that comes from the cover of ''[[Welcome to Addy's World]]''.<br />
* While minor descriptions and smaller events within the text are removed (e.g. details about Addy in the cabin sleeping in "[[Meet Addy#Whispers of Freedom|Whispers of Freedom]]"), no major plot events or stories are removed. <br />
<br />
==Items Associated with ''Addy: Finding Freedom''==<br />
<br />
* [[Addy Walker (doll)|Addy's Meet Outfit and accessories]] (both versions)<br />
