1-3Stepping Stone series.
Illustrated by
Elizabeth Sayles.
While visiting the grandmother she didn't know existed, Zoey discovers a tiny princess doll who miraculously starts talking--and bossing. The story is both a sweet tale about a doll come to life and a bleaker, darker tale of a little girl facing some difficult truths. The direct-address narration adds intimacy and helps insure that the serious undertone doesn't overwhelm the story.
