These books accompanied knock-offs of the popular American Girl Dolls. American Girl Doll books are nothing special, but at least they provide a basic grounding in history--MAC books are just derivative, paint-by-the-numbers insipid fantasy. The girls are all princesses and ballerinas...I think one is an ice skater. Ugh. ( )

The first book in the Magic Attic Club series, this is the book where they first discover the magic of a neighbor's attic, and what it can really do. I really liked this series as a kid, and saved the books for a long time because they were just so interesting. ( )

In this, the first Magic Attic Club book, Alison, Heather, Keisha, and Megan find a new neighbor has moved in, who lets them enjoy her attic. The attic is full of surprises, but the best of all is that it sends them to the past, where they have the opportunity to meet the neighbor as a little girl and help her out. ( )
