Meet American Girl's newest historical doll: Claudie Wells, who lives in Harlem, NYC, during the Harlem Renaissance and the roaring '20s. Her book series is written by Brit Bennett, the acclaimed author of The Mothers.
Here is a summary of Claudie's story:
"Claudie Wells wants more than anything to be a person whose imagination can fly, instead of a person whose feet are stuck on the ground. She believes everyone has a talent except for her. She's growing up in the neighborhood of Harlem in New York City during the 1920s, surrounded by writers and poets, painters and sculptors, actors and dancers, singers and musicians. When an eviction notice threatens her family, friends, and the beloved boardinghouse they share, Claudie has an idea that just might save the day. But first she'll have to find the confidence to let her imagination soar."
