5.0 out of 5 stars Among the Dolls-- Very Recommended!, Aug 1 2001

By	Suzi (Tucson, Az, USA) - See all my reviews

I read this book when I was little, I have remembered it always, I used to wonder if my Barbies cared if I pulled their hair too much, or if I was being mean throwing them off the dreamhouse into the pool, or yanking off their clothes, then I came across this book in the school library, boy did I ever love it, I thought it was the greatest for the dolls to get their revenge!! They really made Vicky treat them better in the end. I think it is an eye opener to those who are mean to their things. But it can be scary to read, but knowing it's fiction makes it worthwhile!! READ IT!! You will love it too...... or so I think! : )

5.0 out of 5 stars How to get a non-reader reading!, May 21 2001

By	tammy (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

At the beginning of each school year I would read this story to my third grade students. Each and every one was entranced to the very end. As a tutor, I have introduced the book to my 7th grade students who hate to read...and there were no complaints with this assignment. It's too bad this book is now out of print. It's a fabulous spooky and well written tale.

1.0 out of 5 stars Scarred for Life, Jul 5 2000

By	Kim (Cicero, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I just was looking on the internet to find a book about a girl who was trapped in a dollhouse, a book I read years and years ago. I am now 23 years old, and since I read this book when I was, oh, say, 10, I have been deathly afraid of dolls. I had nightmares for years after reading this book. Just a warning for parents thinking of getting this book for their child to read. It's stuck with me all these years. I will never forget it.
