In response to girls asking to read about American Girls of Today, in Fall of 2001, Pleasant Company introduced Lindsey, a girl of today with a paperback book telling her story and some accessories all her own. She was only available for a year, and the idea was that a different American Girl of Today would be introduced each year or so. In the Summer of 2003, Kailey, the second modern American Girl, made her appearance. Then, on December 27, 2004, Marisol Luna, the third limited edition girl, was introduced. The fourth Girl of the Year was Jess McConnell. She was introduced December 26, 2005. The fifth and most recent Girl of the Year is Nicki Fleming. She was introduced January 1, 2007 and she is still available at the AG Places, online and by telephone.

The first four modern girls are shown and described below. Lindsey, Kailey, Marisol and Jess and all of their items (except their books) have been retired, but the easiest way to find and collect these items is via online auctions such as Ebay. The Ebay logo's below link to Ebay searches for Lindsey, Kailey, Marisol and Jess' retired American Girl doll items.

Below the Lindsey, Kailey, Marisol and Jess sections on this page, are listed the Girls of Today items that have been retired over the past twelve years.

Nicki. Ten-year-old Nicki Fleming is a natural with animals. She's also compassionate, dependable... and very busy! When the chance to train a service dog comes up, she just can't say "no," even if it means taking on more responsibility and having to give up some of the things she loves doing. When Sprocket the puppy turns out to be a handful, Nicki has to muster all of her compassion to continue his training. She knows that one day Sprocket will make someone else's life better--and that makes all the difference. When she isn't training Sprocket to be a service dog, she's helping her mother, who is expecting twins soon. Yet Nicki is dreading the fall -- that's when Sprocket will have to leave for more training and eventual placement with a person with special needs. The beginning of the school year also means she's stuck in the middle -- caught between her two best friends, Kris and Becca, who can't seem to get along. Can Nicki find a way to let Sprocket go and keep both of her good friends close?

Kailey was introduced in the Summer of 2003. In July, 2004, Kailey was retired. All of her items are no longer available with the exception of her book.

Lindsey Bergman is a funny, good-hearted ten-year-old girl who just can't help wanting to...well, help! She's trying to turn her teachers into lovebirds, keep her school safe from bullies, plan her brother's bar-mitzvah, get her grumpy uncle to smile, and find her lost dog - all at once. But sometimes her best intentions bring more trouble than success.

Lindsey was introduced in the 2001 Holiday catalog and her items were available through Dec. 31, 2002. She had curly auburn hair and bright blue eyes. She was dressed in a sporty green T-shirt and a khaki skirt. Her hooded sweater had contrasting stripes at the cuffs that matched her colorful striped tights. Lindsey wore red ankle boots and a beaded bobby pin to hold back her bangs.

Lindsey has been retired and with the exception of her book, all of her items are no longer available.
