Don't let visions of screaming, doll-wielding pre-tweens descending on American Girl Place stores, beleaguered parents in tow, bias you against this tie-in film, the fourth American Girl feature and the first made for the big screen. Based on Valerie Tripp's stories about an intrepid 9-year-old from Depression-era Ohio who yearns to be a reporter, the movie stays true to the American Girl empire's over-arching mission: To teach youngsters about the experiences of young girls throughout American history.
