Take a Leap of Fun! A Short, Crazy Video Podcast

Hello American Girl fans!

Christa's brother Barrett works with Rocket Launch Media, which does cool web videos for small businesses. Anyway, he thought it would be fun to put together this crazy little clip for Girl Doll Talk.

We hope your summer is starting well! We should have our next audio podcast episode out next week. In the meantime, have a great day!

Take a Leap of Fun with Christa and Mia!

Do You Have a Question for Jodi Goldberg?

Hello girls! On Friday we're interviewing Jodi Goldberg from American Girl. She is the Editorial Director at AG so if it's published, chances are she is involved!

We have questions for her but want to get your voice in as well. What questions do you have for her?

Do you get the American Girl Magazine and have a question about it? What do you want to know about how books are designed or developed? She was heavily involved with the Kit movie so maybe you have a question about that?

Let us know and we'll try to get your question in! Thanks!

Your American Girl friends,

Christa and Mia

We Want to Interview You!

We'd love to let the world know about your site! Click here, add your site, and then let your fans know about the contest so they can vote for you!

We look forward to talking with you!

A couple months back we asked our listeners which author they would most like to hear from. Since Chrissa is so loved, it was no surprise that Mary Casanova, the author of the Chrissa and Jess books, ranked very high.

What did surprise us is how many other books Mrs. Casanova has written! She was so kind to send us an autographed copy of her book Cecile: Gates of Gold. Girls, as much as we love Chrissa... we like this book even more! Make sure to get your copy today!

Mrs. Casanova is a wonderful woman--so nice to interview! Don't miss some of the fun bloopers at the end of the episode!
