People say that music has the power to take us anywhere. American Girl took that literally with the third Melody book, Music in My Heart. In this choose-your-own adventure novel, we follow a protagonist as she goes back in time and navigates Melody's world. This forces us to decide whether we'd rather make music with Melody's brother or learn about the Civil Rights movement alongside her sister. With more than a dozen options for read-throughs, this book has something for everyone, including a Rosa Parks cameo. We discuss this genre of book, the choices we made in our journey with Melody, and our viewings of the Barbie movie.  Resources we reference:  Leslie Jamison. “The Enduring Allure of Choose Your Own Adventure Books.” The New Yorker.
