Hey readers!
What if you could go to a boarding school with absolutely EVERYTHING- shopping, horse stables, a gigantic library, your own room, a greenhouse, a pet-care center, a lake? That sounds awesome- just really expensive! But that school does exist- in the Innerstar University books by American Girl!
In the Innerstar University books, you can imagine yourself as a girl in this special boarding school, taking parts in all sorts of activities. But there are problems too- will you be able to go to your friend's party when it's at the lake, which you're afraid of? Will you ride in a horse show months after the most humiliating horse show ever? Will you make the right decision to keep your favorite dog safe? Can you lead a troop of girls for a hike in the woods?
These books are similar to the Goosebumps 'You Choose the Scare' books because the reader is the one making the stories and controlling what happens.
One thing that I don't like about these books, however, is that sometimes the situations are hard to believe and the decisions made may not apply to everyone. For example, one of the books, Braving the Lake, is about you facing your fear of the lake. But if you're not afraid of the lake in real life, this problem seems a bit silly and isn't relatable. Also, some of the choices are ones that you wouldn't make yourself.
These books are written by different authors and are part of the American Girl books. There is also an online website for Innerstar University which you can access if you have the book or doll.
Some books in this series are Braving the Lake, A Girl's Best Friend, Project Friendship, Taking the Reins, Fork in the Trail, Into the Spotlight, Bound For Snow and many more.
I recommend these books for ages 9 and above.
