The Dollhouse Magic

85 pp. | Holt | November, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6464-8 $$15.00
(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Diane Palmisciano. Lila and Jane are thrilled when elderly Miss Whitcomb lets them play with her elaborate dollhouse: "Children are what give a dollhouse its life and its magic, you know." Her unexpected death brings sadness, but the girls entertain the tantalizing thought that dollhouse magic is responsible when a young girl moves into Miss Whitcomb's house. Lighthearted illustrations help make the chapter book's Depression-era setting accessible.
