Description:

Annabelle Doll is 8 years old--and has been for over 100 years. Nothingmuch has changed in the dollhouse during that time, except for the fact that 45years ago, Annabelle's Auntie Sarah disappeared from the dollhouse without atrace. After all this time, restless Annabelle is becoming more and more curiousabout her aunt's fate. And when she discovers Auntie Sarah's old diary, shebecomes positively driven. Her cautious family tries to discourage her, butAnnabelle won't be stopped, even though she risks Permanent Doll State, in whichshe could turn into a regular, nonliving doll. And when the "Real Pink Plastic"Funcraft family moves in next door, the Doll family's world is turned upsidedown--in more ways than one!Fans of The Borrowers andStuart Little will lovethis exciting story of adventure and mystery. The relationship between the twodoll families, one antique, one modern, is hilariously, wonderfully drawn. TheFuncrafts are reckless and raucous, with fearlessness born of their unbreakableplastic parts. The Doll family is reserved and somewhat prim, even though theyoccasionally break into '60s tunes like "Respect" in their sing-alongs.Annabelle is a heroine with integrity and gumption. Ann Martin (The BabysittersClub series) and Laura Godwin create a witty, intriguing tale, illustrated withhumor and a clever eye for detail by Brian Selznick. (Ages 7 to 11) --EmilieCoulter
