American Girl's character Julie lives in the 1970s. Julie and her Chinese-American friend, Ivy, are the latest additions to American Girl's fabulously popular line of historical dolls and books. Scheduled to be introduced on Sept. 10 in the company's stores in New York, Atlanta, Chicago and Los Angeles, these West Coast girls are the series' first new characters in five years and the first to be situated in an era so close to the present. Now, girls who grew up playing with Dawn and Chatty Cathy can watch their own daughters play with a doll version of themselves. (American Girl via The New York Times)*EDITORIAL USE ONLY*
