History mysteries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The History Mysteries are a series of books from American Girl (a subsidiary of Mattel), comprising a total of 22 books by various authors. As the title suggests, these are mysteries set in the past. They are usually somewhat short and the main character is always a girl, 11 or 12 years old. They are not well-known, unlike the more popular American Girl books.
