Behind the Attic Wall by Sylvia Cassedy
4.0
I read this when I was about 11, then spent years trying to remember what it was called (pre-Internet years), and then spotted it in a friend's bookshelf and begged her to let me borrow it and read.
I can't blame people for finding the idea of autonomous dolls creepy after growing up with the Child's Play series, but I found it quite interesting, melancholic and sadly beautiful with a little imagination, much like the peeling flowery wallpaper in the attic where much of the action in this book takes place.
