A Girl Named Hillary: The True Story of Hillary Clinton

Two new series of books have popped up that will be under the American Girl Header.
The first is "Real Stories From My Time." These books are focused on actual events and occurrences that happen during a BeForever character's timeline. The first four books are:
Secondly is the "A Girl Named Series". These will be full-illustrated biographical books on the childhood and history of real historical women, mainly focused during their childhood. The first two known are:
  • A Girl Named Hillary: The childhood and life of Hillary Clinton, the first woman to be nominated for a major political party for president.
  • A Girl Named Rosa: The childhood and life of Rosa Parks, who became famous for protesting the segregation of the Montgomery Bus system in Alabama and made a name for herself during the start of the Black Civil Rights movements of the 1950s.
As usual, we strive for neutrality and respect here, as well as no rumor-monging about new characters, retirements, or designs.
