The Doll People

Ann Matthews Martin, Laura Godwin

Hyperion Books for Children, Aug 14, 2000 - Juvenile Fiction - 272 pages

Annabelle Doll is eight years old -- she has been for over a hundred years. Not a lot has happened, cooped up in the same dollhouse, with the same doll people day after day, year after year...until the Funcrafts move in! Now Annabelle has a friend! Sure, she's bright pink, made of plastic, and living in the scariest room in the house, but she's an adventurer, and after a hundred years of boredom, an adventure is just what Annabelle needs. This wonderfully satisfying story about two unlikely friends and their adventures (and misadventures) is filled with plenty of action, intrigue, and fun.
