  <description><![CDATA[Annabelle Doll is 8 years old--and has been for over 100 years. Nothing  much has changed in the dollhouse during that time, except for the fact that 45  years ago, Annabelle's Auntie Sarah disappeared from the dollhouse without a  trace. After all this time, restless Annabelle is becoming more and more curious  about her aunt's fate. And when she discovers Auntie Sarah's old diary, she  becomes positively driven. Her cautious family tries to discourage her, but  Annabelle won't be stopped, even though she risks Permanent Doll State, in which  she could turn into a regular, nonliving doll. And when the &quot;Real Pink Plastic&quot;  Funcraft family moves in next door, the Doll family's world is turned upside  down--in more ways than one!<p>  Fans of <em>The Borrowers</em> and  <em>Stuart Little</em> will love  this exciting story of adventure and mystery. The relationship between the two  doll families, one antique, one modern, is hilariously, wonderfully drawn. The  Funcrafts are reckless and raucous, with fearlessness born of their unbreakable  plastic parts. The Doll family is reserved and somewhat prim, even though they  occasionally break into '60s tunes like &quot;Respect&quot; in their sing-alongs.  Annabelle is a heroine with integrity and gumption. Ann Martin (The Babysitters  Club series) and Laura Godwin create a witty, intriguing tale, illustrated with  humor and a clever eye for detail by Brian Selznick. (Ages 7 to 11) <em>--Emilie  Coulter</em></p>]]></description>

And when the &quot;Real Pink Plastic&quot;  Funcraft family moves in next door, the Doll family's world is turned upside  down--in more ways than one!<p>  Fans of <em>The Borrowers</em> and  <em>Stuart Little</em> will love  this exciting story of adventure and mystery. The relationship between the two  doll families, one antique, one modern, is hilariously, wonderfully drawn. The  Funcrafts are reckless and raucous, with fearlessness born of their unbreakable  plastic parts. The Doll family is reserved and somewhat prim, even though they  occasionally break into '60s tunes like &quot;Respect&quot; in their sing-alongs.  Annabelle is a heroine with integrity and gumption. Ann Martin (The Babysitters  Club series) and Laura Godwin create a witty, intriguing tale, illustrated with  humor and a clever eye for detail by Brian Selznick.

    <![CDATA[Annabelle Doll is 8 years old--and has been for over 100 years. Nothing  much has changed in the dollhouse during that time, except for the fact that 45  years ago, Annabelle's Auntie Sarah disappeared from the dollhouse without a  trace. After all this time, restless Annabelle is becoming more and more curious  about her aunt's fate. And when she discovers Auntie Sarah's old diary, she  becomes positively driven. Her cautious family tries to discourage her, but  Annabelle won't be stopped, even though she risks Permanent Doll State, in which  she could turn into a regular, nonliving doll. And when the &quot;Real Pink Plastic&quot;  Funcraft family moves in next door, the Doll family's world is turned upside  down--in more ways than one!<p>  Fans of <em>The Borrowers</em> and  <em>Stuart Little</em> will love  this exciting story of adventure and mystery.

After all this time, restless Annabelle is becoming more and more curious  about her aunt's fate. And when she discovers Auntie Sarah's old diary, she  becomes positively driven. Her cautious family tries to discourage her, but  Annabelle won't be stopped, even though she risks Permanent Doll State, in which  she could turn into a regular, nonliving doll. And when the &quot;Real Pink Plastic&quot;  Funcraft family moves in next door, the Doll family's world is turned upside  down--in more ways than one!<p>  Fans of <em>The Borrowers</em> and  <em>Stuart Little</em> will love  this exciting story of adventure and mystery. The relationship between the two  doll families, one antique, one modern, is hilariously, wonderfully drawn. The  Funcrafts are reckless and raucous, with fearlessness born of their unbreakable  plastic parts. The Doll family is reserved and somewhat prim, even though they  occasionally break into '60s tunes like &quot;Respect&quot; in their sing-alongs.  Annabelle is a heroine with integrity and gumption. Ann Martin (The Babysitters  Club series) and Laura Godwin create a witty, intriguing tale, illustrated with  humor and a clever eye for detail by Brian Selznick. (Ages 7 to 11) <em>--Emilie  Coulter</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Annabelle Doll is 8 years old--and has been for over 100 years. Nothing  much has changed in the dollhouse during that time, except for the fact that 45  years ago, Annabelle's Auntie Sarah disappeared from the dollhouse without a  trace. After all this time, restless Annabelle is becoming more and more curious  about her aunt's fate. And when she discovers Auntie Sarah's old diary, she  becomes positively driven. Her cautious family tries to discourage her, but  Annabelle won't be stopped, even though she risks Permanent Doll State, in which  she could turn into a regular, nonliving doll. And when the &quot;Real Pink Plastic&quot;  Funcraft family moves in next door, the Doll family's world is turned upside  down--in more ways than one!<p>  Fans of <em>The Borrowers</em> and  <em>Stuart Little</em> will love  this exciting story of adventure and mystery. The relationship between the two  doll families, one antique, one modern, is hilariously, wonderfully drawn. The  Funcrafts are reckless and raucous, with fearlessness born of their unbreakable  plastic parts. The Doll family is reserved and somewhat prim, even though they  occasionally break into '60s tunes like &quot;Respect&quot; in their sing-alongs.  Annabelle is a heroine with integrity and gumption. Ann Martin (The Babysitters  Club series) and Laura Godwin create a witty, intriguing tale, illustrated with  humor and a clever eye for detail by Brian Selznick. (Ages 7 to 11) <em>--Emilie  Coulter</em></p>]]>
