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.”

LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT COURTNEY!!
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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHer accessories are pretty darn cute!!
