According to the Wisconsin State Journal, the message for this year’s doll is “Go Outdoors”.

Lanie, a 10-year-old from Cambridge, Mass., will be the 2010 Girl of the Year doll for American Girl, Middleton, starting Jan. 1. She is described as a city girl who learns how to have fun outdoors. Through Lanie, American Girl is working with the National Wildlife Federation to encourage today’s girls to improve their health by tearing themselves away from their computer screens and discovering nature.

Now all we have to wait to find out is what her collection will consist of – considering it has been posted that the value of her collection is $559.
