House of Dolls

61 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | June, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-113094-6 $15.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Barbara McClintock. Madison Blackberry, a lonely rich girl, envies the dolls in her dollhouse; unlike the members of Madison's own family, the dolls appear to enjoy one another's company. McClintock's detailed black-and-white line drawings show the lovely, very alive-looking dolls in their ornate surroundings. The slim, illustrated volume is a bit short for middle graders; younger readers may have trouble with the description-heavy text.
