I totally agree! I had Kirsten, and in the first book her friend dies from disease while her family is immigrating. What other books for seven year olds talk about the people who died while immigrating?! She was her age, and I remember thinking that could have been me! All of the other books for that age group have old people or dogs dying.
I loved American Girl dolls. The clothes and accessories didn't hurt either.
