American Girl's Facebook account just revealed the first book for their newest BeForever character, Maryellen Larkin. There is still no information as to what setting her books will be set in or what her themes will be.
On this wiki we take a zero-tolerance approach on leaked information that did not come through official channels. That goes for speculating and rumor-mongering.
American Girl's Facebook and Instagram account have made the official announcement that Caroline Abbott and her entire collection are to be archived. This will likely happen by August to allow the release of Maryellen. Like Marie-Grace and Cécile before her, Caroline had a three-year run.
This, unfortunately will leave a large gap between 1764 and 1824 and a large emphasis on the 20th Century. Will there later be a rerelease of Felicity or a new Historical/BeForever to later fill this? Time will tell. For now, if you don't have her or her things, start to get them before they leave!
April 23rd, 2015 / Song of the MockingBird and Maryellen on the AG Publishing Site
American Girl's Publication site has shown a category under the BeForever column, showing the character name "Maryellen" (one word, no spaces) between Kit and Julie chronologically. Nothing is shown in the category when clicked on, but the shell of the page is visible. There is also the category "Truly Me" in place of "My American Girl." A screencap has been provided in the event American Girl edits the page to prevent leaks or questions.
Again, our Wiki does not accept leaked information that is not on official sites. So no pages or add ins (and certainly no images!) until this data is more solid.
April 2, 2015 / American Girl Nashville grand opening
While the Nashville store page isn't present via American Girl's store search function, the page is live, with the grand opening set on the weekend of May 30 and 31.
A screencap on the right has been provided in the event American Girl takes the page down between now and whenever they feel like putting it back up again, probably closer to the scheduled dates.
ETA: It should be noted that Nashville's grand opening dates in May was first noted in a Wisconsin State Journal article with regards to staff layoffs. The same article also quotes that the AG store in Scottsdale is set to open sometime in August.
February 20, 2015 / Book Leaks -- Truly Me and BeForever Books
Several new books have shown both on the American Girl Publishing site [1] and Amazon.com. First are three new modern-focused books:
The books are due to be released May 2015. Along with new covers for some older craft books, this looks to be a revamping of the modern doll line, much like the switch to My American Girl. (Here at the Wiki we will still keep the category named how it is, due to the tedious tasks of redoing the category on every related page. We believe you're smart enough to know what is what.)
There have been leaks for three other books written by Valerie Tripp: The One and Only,The Sky's the Limit, and Taking Off. These look to be a new set of BeForever Character books; they are categorized on Amazon.com as set in the 1900s and to be released this August. While this is exciting news, we cannot tie these three titles to a BeForever Character or know details on the books and which is which. So please do not make articles about them yet.
