The Doll People by Ann M. Martin, Laura Godwin
3.0
genre: fantasy
summary: Annabelle doll is bored. She's been a doll for almost 100 years and she's never really allowed to go anywhere beyond the room where the doll house is....years ago her Aunt Sarah went missing without a trace. Annabelle accidentally discovers Sarah's journal and wants to start searching her. Meanwhile a new family of doll's, the Funcrafts', move in to a room across the hall. Plastic and shiny the new dolls have different attitudes that Annabelle and her family but Annabelle is happy to finally have new people to talk with.
notes:
for kids who like: the Borrowers, the Littles, Toy Story, etc
age group: age 9+ (good read aloud for children 6+)
my review: I read Borrowers as a kid and that will always be my favorite "tiny people" fantasy book but I found this entertaining. The doll oath and doll state rules were interested...but also seemed a little plot-holey. all in a solid read
