American Girl Character Encyclopedia (2021)



The American Girl Character Encyclopedia is an American Girl publication focused on brief character information and trivia for various characters, published by DK Publishing in 2021. The book is stated to be the second edition--called the "New Edition"--after the American Girl Character Encyclopedia published in 2017.

Contents

The book briefly covers factual information about all then-released named characters prior to the World by Us release. This includes all Historical Characters (and Best Friend Characters) through Courtney Moore, all Girls of the Year through Kira Bailey, and all Contemporary Characters.

The sections are:

  • Chapter 1: American Girl Characters: Character bios and facts.
  • Chapter 2: Furry Friends: information about various Pets, including Historical Character Pets and pets for Modern Characters.
  • Chapter 3: Amazing Places: information about selected collection items for various characters.
  • Chapter 4: Girls on the Go: information about selected character vehicles and methods of movement.

Each character section has about two pages (Sonali and Gwen are only given one) with each animal section, "places", and vehicles or transport having one page each. At the end are galleries of all Historical Characters, Girls of the Year and Contemporary Characters (listed under "Girls of the Year"), animals, and selected Historical Character Accessories and Girl of the Year/Contemporary Character Accessories.


Changes from Previous Edition

Many sections, facts, and pages are reprinted exactly from the previous American Girl Character Encyclopedia. The major differences include, other than added characters (and the depreciation of the BeForever name):

  • There are no Truly Me sections or items displayed, including any Modern Style Pets.
  • Logan Everett is given a two-page spread whereas before, he was only mentioned on Tenney's pages.
  • Retired outfits and items previously shown on Historical Character pages have been replaced with newer items in the collection; this is done in both small images and larger page images, and text is changed where needed. For example, Maryellen's pages have replaced the large image of Maryellen's Play Outfit with Maryellen's School Outfit. Her skating outfit and accessories are now replaced with her sledding outfit and sled. In place of the TV and sofa bed the newer rocket set is shown, with the text changed to match.
