I've been reading a lot of the American Girl Mysteries lately. They've always been some of my favorite books to read, as mystery was the first genre I fell in love with that made me start reading. As I've been reading though, I've been finding common themes between all of the books, so I decided to start making a list here of the Mysteries grouped into certain themes, similar to sub-genres, within the mysteries. Some books fit into more than one category, and this list is subjective, but I hope this will guide you as you read the American Girl Mysteries. This list is made up of all the mysteries I have read, but if you have your own suggestions leave them in the comments below!
