The Runaway Dolls (The Doll People)
 |
by Ann M
Martin and Laura Godwin Illustrated by Brian
Selznick |
Best friends Annabelle Doll and Tiffany
Funcraft are back, and this time they've got an unexpected
visitor, a new doll named Tilly May. In this masterfully
plotted third book in the Doll People series, Ann M. Martin
and Laura Godwin, with the help of Brian Selznick's
captivating black-and-white illustrations, take the reader
on another exhilarating adventure from a doll's-eye view.
This third book in the series begins with a wonderful premise. A
very very old package is found in an old toy store, and an
honest person mails the Victorian package as it was
addressed. As a result, the baby doll which has been missing
for more than 100 years arrives to join the doll family!!!
She's arrived in a mysterious package from London, but her
face looks so familiar... . Could she be Annabelle's long
lost baby sister? Annabelle is convinced it absolutely must
be so--but her parents refuse to believe her. With time
running out before the package is at risk of being sent back
to England, Annabelle and Tiffany resort to the only course
of action they can think of--running away.
Once again, the children in the two doll families (one family of
antique Victorian dolls and one equally special family of
plastic "Funcraft" dolls) show courage and spirit, taking
risks that the adult dolls feel are unwise. Life on the road
is fraught with its own pitfalls, from a foreboding wooded
park to a close call in a department store. How will
Annabelle and Tiffany find their way back home...and what's
going to happen to Tilly May if and when they do?
The girls' heart-versus-head approach gets them in deep trouble,
but in the end leads to a truly happy ending. Love and
bravery conquer all!
“This gorgeously illustrated story will become a beloved
family classic. Highly, highly recommended!”
