Very Funny, Elizabeth (American Girls: Felicity)

The mix of comedy and history is so unique—I'm curious what led Valerie Tripp to choose this particular time period for a children's book.

Her jokes and antics brought a fresh, fun energy to the historical events. Did that make the story more memorable for others?

Balancing accuracy with humor must be tricky — I wonder what was left out or added to keep it age-appropriate and entertaining.
