Raquel Reyes™ loves DJing, taste-testing paletas at her family’s shop in Kansas City, and spending time with her lovable rescue pup, Luzita™. For the summer, she’s heading to the East Coast for a big family reunion and wedding. Amid the fun-in-the-sun days with her cousins, she encounters a few surprises—including her great-great-grandmother’s diary. Enjoy hours of play with our 2026 Girl of the Year™, Raquel, an American Girl 18-inch doll with brown eyes and dark-brown hair. Create matching moments with Raquel’s™ Gingham Ruffle Outfit for Girls (sold separately).

An 18" Raquel doll with brown eyes that open and close, and dark-brown hair styled in a front ponytail with a gingham bow. She has a soft cotton body, and her movable head and limbs are made of smooth vinyl.

An outfit inspired by Raquel’s great-great-grandmother Samantha Parkington’s iconic look: a pink-and-plum gingham-print top with a ruched front, puff sleeves with attached purple bows, and a ruffled bottom hem; a gingham-print full skirt with gathers at the waist; and a matching hair tie with a gingham-print fabric bow

Also includes:

A golden cuff bracelet with a bow, a pair of pink platform shoes with ankle straps and purple bows at the toes, and a pair of underwear

An illustrated paperback book, The Diary of Raquel Reyes, that tells how Raquel shares her passion for music and family history, reconnects with her relatives, and springs into action with her cousin Sloan for an important rescue mission
