The Doll People
MORE THAN 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD
★ "A marvelous treat." -Kirkus Reviews
★ "Fun-filled adventure." -Publishers Weekly
The timeless classic about the adventures of a hundred-year-old china doll and her new plastic neighbor, from bestselling and award-winning authors Anne M. Martin (The Babysitters Club) and Laura Godwin, with illustrations from Brian Selznick (The Invention of Hugo Cabaret).
Annabelle Doll is eight years old and has been for over 100 years. She and her family, beautifully crafted china dolls, have been passed down through four generations of the same family. Not a lot has happened to them, cooped up in the dollhouse, with the same doll people, day after day, year after year...until the Funcrafts move in.
Unlike the cautious, traditional Doll family in every way, the Funcrafts are new, plastic, and carefree, delivered straight from the factory shelves! Tiffany Funcraft is an adventurer-and after 100 years of boredom, that's just what Anabelle needs. Especially when she vows to solve a decades-long family mystery.
This beloved doll story will spark imagination and wonder in young readers, and send them on a search for the second book in the series, The Meanest Doll in the World.
Perfect for!
