Emily Bennett
Emily Bennett, Molly's English friend is an English girl who is sent to America by her family to protect her from the intensity of the English battlefront during World War II. Originally a minor character temporarily residing with the McIntires in the book Happy Birthday, Molly!, Emily's character was expanded in a book by Valerie Tripp called "Brave Emily" for her debut as the third doll in the "Best Friends" collection on September 5, 2006.[8] Emily's debut coincided with the premiere of the Molly made-for-TV movie. Since Emily is a minor character and not Molly's best friend, she was marketed instead as "Molly's English friend."

Yes! At first, Molly bugged me. But after awhile, I got really into her stories.

The only one I wasn't into, of the originals (I stopped reading them right before Kaya, and never heard of Julie or Rebecca until recently) was Addy. I only had like two of her six books, so I didn't have the opportunity to get into her story.

My American Girl dolls
Originally introduced in 1995, the My American Girl dolls 2010 (formerly known as "Just Like You 2009 "and "American Girl of Today" or "American Girl Today") are a line of contemporary dolls and accessories. This line has included over fifty different dolls over the years (although many are no longer produced and are only available on the secondary market).[12] Each doll has a different combination of face mold; skin tone; eye color; and hair color, length and/or style. American Girl states that this variety allows customers to choose dolls that "represent the individuality and diversity of today's American girls".[5] These dolls are not marketed as representing specific races or ethnicities. Each doll is sold wearing a standard 'Meet' outfit that is updated every two years to reflect new fashion trends. A wide variety of contemporary clothing, accessories, and furniture is available for separate purchase, and there are regular releases and retirements to update this line.[13]

Molly was my first favorite. I don't remember reading any Addy books, but I LOVED the Samantha Christmas one.

The last one I ever read was like, Kaya & Lone Dog or something. That one was aodrable.
