Z is a different sort of American Girl. Suzanne "Z" Yang is one of only two contemporary characters that were released. These came alongside the regular 2017 Girl of the Year. There were criticisms of the other contemporary girl, Tenney, saying that she was originally supposed to be the GotY and Gabriela the second contemporary. This seems quite possible.
I prefer Z to Tenney, because she's very similar to my favorite AG doll. It's nice to see a Korean-American character.
Z is a filmographer who makes stopmotion videos featuring her American Girl dolls. She has a group of friends and online followers called Z's Crew.
The first book has Z making her first "real" movie, a ten-minute piece for a competition. The second book has her on the road with her mother, a filmmaker, learning how to be an assistant. In both books, she makes error after error until she learns a lesson and then she succeeds.
The books are a bit different because they're written by two different authors.
They're decent, but far from the best in the series.
