'''Lanie Holland''' is the eighth [[Girls of the Year|Girl of the Year]], released by the American Girl Doll company in '''2010'''.

==Character==

Lanie is a ten-year-old girl living in [[Wikipedia:Cambridge, Massachusetts|Cambridge, Massachusetts]].<ref>The envelope for [[Lanie's Accessories#Letter|Lanie's letter]] specifically mentions Cambridge, Massachusetts.</ref> She enjoys science and nature, and considers herself a scientist.

Lanie is the middle of three children; she has a younger sister named Emily and an older sister named Angela. She dreams of becoming an expert scientist and explore deep jungles in Asia, being just like her Aunt Hannah, tracking wildlife, or trying experiments. She keeps her own nature journal with "factoids" and notes, and some of these notes are sprinkled in the text of the books.

Lanie is quite interested in science; she uses many large, scientific words in her speech and thoughts. However her thoughts are still quite childlike despite the scientific terms (for example, she believes there was a genetic mismatch when she was "gestating" in her mother that resulted in her enjoying the outdoors more than the rest of her family).

At the start of the story Lanie's best friend Dakota, who is a fellow nature lover like Lanie, is halfway across the world as her father is rescuing orangutans in the deep jungle of Indonesia. The two girls communicate with each other through email. Lanie's email is ''hollandnotthecountry@4natr.net.''

She has a bunny named Lulu.
