Reviews
"It's not easy to write a good book about dolls. Martin and Godwin not only set up a realistic doll world but also provide a credible mystery. The story gets a wonderful boost from Brian Selznick's pencil drawings...he catches every bit of humor."-- Booklist, "Black-and-white pencil drawings illustrate this lively addition to the doll-fantasy genre."-- Horn Book, "Martin and Godwin inventively spin out their own variation on the perennially popular theme of toys who secretly come to life...Doll lovers may well approach their imaginative play with renewed enthusiasm and a sense of wonder after reading this fun-filled adventure."-- Publishers Weekly, starred review, "A lighthearted touch and a dash of drama make this a satisfying read. Selznick's illustrations are perfectly suited to the innocent charm of the dolls and do much to draw readers into their world."-- School and Library Journal, August 15, 2000. Little girls are in for a marvelous treat in this delicious fantasy that captures many of the rituals, fancies, and habits of girlhood with sweetness and honesty, while imparting gentle lessons about risk, self-fulfillment, and dealing with difference. Annabelle Doll lives with her family in their dollhouse in Kate's room: her family of Victorian china dolls had belonged to Kate's grandmother, and mother, and now belongs to Kate. Like the characters in Toy Story, the doll family has elaborate rituals for activity when the human family is asleep or occupied, and Annabelle's parents are extremely protective and fearful. They've all taken the Doll Oath to keep their lives secret and fear Permanent Doll State, when they would simply be inanimate at all times (Barbies never take the Oath, and are always inanimate, we learn). But Auntie Sarah has disappeared (45 years ago) and Annabelle, who's discovered her journal, longs to bring her back. Kate's pesky little sister Nora soon acquires a dollhouse of her own, and the Funcraft family, with their modern ways and funky plastic accoutrements, inspire Annabelle, who becomes best friends with Tiffany Funcraft. Tiffany and Annabelle form a private club, share secrets, and contrast their families in ways that will resonate with every girl who has ever wondered if her dolls talk to each other. In the end, they find Auntie Sarah and rescue Papa Doll from the fiendish clutches of the cat. The whole is fabulously illustrated by Selznick, whose pictures have a shapely richness that captures not only the sturdy tubbiness of the modern dolls, but the fragile rigidity of the Victorian ones.

Synopsis
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 American 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 fresh twist on the beloved genre of doll stories will spark imagination and a sense of wonder in young readers and will send them on a search for the second book in the series, The Meanest Doll in the World . Perfect for! Reluctant readers Barbie lovers Baby-sitters Club enthusiasts Readers who prefer illustrations, 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.
