SOLVED. Children's novel about dolls but not the creepy kind. [s]

[L]

I had this hardback book about a family of dolls who were made of porcelain. The narrator was the young daughter of the family and they belonged to the oldest human daughter of the family. The baby human sister got a new dollhouse and doll family made of plastic and the doll daughter finally got a best friend. They had a bbq together. Big plot point was porcelain dolls aunt had vanished but they found her stuck in the attic. She was cool and studied spiders journaled them all. The book had the illustrations.
It was just a really cute and wholesome book. Thanks for your help :)

Also sorry moderators as I am using mobile app and this post looks duplicated on my end?? I promise I didn't mean to post twice! Hopefully it just looks like that on my side. Thank you!

Don't worry, one of the mods will delete the duplicate thread.

What year did you read this book?

[Kris]

No worries, Laura. That's a Goodreads glitch. We can tell because the date-time stamp on the two threads is identical. I deleted the extra thread.

The Doll People maybe?

The book I was trying to find is indeed The Doll People by Ann M. Martin and Laura Godwin.

I'm so happy. I didn't realize there were sequels! The nostalgia is going to be great 🥰

Thank you all so much! Special shoutout to Ayshe for the solve!
