1960s BeForever Melody Ellison Book Details & Chapter List

The first book for our newest historical 1960s BeForever character, Melody Ellison, is starting to appear a few bookstores. We are so fortunate and grateful our fellow blogger American Girl Doll Crafter (http://www.dolldays.com/) was kind enough to snap a few photos of the book at her store and send them to us to share! The images include the cover, the list of chapters for book 1, as well as the descriptions for book 2 (Never Stop Singing), and the Journey book (Music in My Heart).

A full list of leaks and information for the 1960s Beforever character Melody Ellison is at the bottom of this post. ^_^

  3. So if Big Momma and Big Poppa used to live in Alabama, that means they might have family in Birmingham, which means the big event was probably the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. Though it happened in 1963, so did the Walk to Freedom. It's a conspiracy! Merry Christmas :3

    1. Merry Christmas! A lot of the historical books don't match up with events in that year exactly, so it's definitely possible! ^_^

  4. This is really cool but I have no idea what this means. Is AG going to come out with Melody on January 1 or just the book earlier than the doll? Will they continue this pattern for other dolls? I want to know!

    1. I believe the first book is still coming out January 1st, and the doll, her collection, and her second book and Journey book will be released later in the year. As far as I know, this is the first time AG has ever done something like this.
