American Girl Courtney Moore 1986 - (Book 1) Changes the Game and (Book 2) Friendship Superhero

 Courtney is the best gamer at the arcade. But she can’t understand why there aren’t more girl characters in the games she plays. When a school project allows her to create her own video game, the hero is a girl who knows how to handle any situation—something Courtney struggles with in real life. Whether it’s learning to share a room with her stepsister or supporting her mom when she announces she’s running for mayor, Courtney’s blended family has to learn to work together differently. It’s a whole new game for Courtney, and she’s figuring out the rules as she goes. Includes full-color illustrations and a historical “looking back” section. 120 pages. Paperback. Author: Kellen Hertz.

 Courtney Moore, an avid gamer growing up with her blended family in the fictional town of Orange Valley, CA. When given a chance to create her own video game, Courtney looks to real-life heroes—like her mom, who’s running for mayor, as well as the astronauts on the Space Shuttle Challenger—as inspiration to invent a female superhero who’s bold, brave, and gives Courtney the courage to speak up for the people and ideas she believes in.

Courtney’s story is also being told via a 25-minute film short on Youtube Kids called, “Meet Courtney: An American Girl Movie.”

  1. I saw a gal on YouTube say that Courtney looks quite a bit like Maryellen (except for eyes, of course). I kinda agree, but I want her in my collection anyway. Her wardrobe is to die for, and I want to read that book, AND I want to introduce her to Molly!

  2. I won't be getting the doll, but the clothing and accessories are all on my wishlist! I LOVE her character, and I think her story is super cool! It's been a rough week but submerging myself in Courtney's World has made it better! I can't wait for the movie to come out on YouTube! I am going to try to get Courtney's book from barnes and noble if I can, I'd prefer not to have to pay shipping for it, but if I have to I will purchase through AG to get the points and add them to my rewards.
