I think Doll People is a really good book because I love how Tiffany and Annabelle become good friends and are different kind of dolls. I also like how Tiffany and Annabelle go on a search for Auntie Sarah (Annabelle’s aunt) because she disappeared about a century ago.

I love this book because in every chapter it left me in suspense. I absolutely loved the part when they found Auntie Sarah. I thought she was in Doll State or even Permanent Doll State. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes mysteries. On a scale of 1-10 I would give it an 11!

I really like the book the Doll People. If I rated the book on a scale from 1-10 I would rate it 10. I would rate it 10 because I like how it is the dolls point of view. Also I would rate it that because it is a wonderful book. I recommend it to anyone who likes a book on someone point of that is not a humans. Once you are done with the book you donut want to treat your dolls like dolls you want to treat them like humans. The book the doll people is a great great book. I would and I am sure you would want to read a book by the same author. The author is Ann M. Martin.

This is a book about a China doll family. The dolls are 100 years old!!! Auntie Sarah has been missing for 45 years!! Annabelle finds a journal that she thinks belongs to Auntie Sarah. My favorite part is when Annabelle, Bobby, and Uncle doll look for Auntie Sarah. It is my favorite part because Annabelle finds a new girl doll, named Tiffany who becomes her best friend. I would recommend this book to people who like mysteries and adventures.
