The authors of The Doll People and its sequel are Ann M. Martin and Laura Godwin. The dolls go on adventures. The Papa gets taken by the cat and the dolls have to save him. The dolls' names are Annabelle, Bobby,
Mama doll, Papa doll, Nanny, Auntie Sara, Uncle doll, Tiffany, Mom, Dad, Bailey and Baby Britney. They're in the house of the Palmers and the owner of the dolls names are Nora and Kate Palmer.
My favorite part is when Annabelle finds the Funcrafts. Well the book starts out with Annabelle talking about her life. And even if you don't like the very first part you will like the rest. The book is very entertaining and full of surprises. The person who would like this book is someone who would like going on explorations.

For me, it was The Secret Garden- the book I read as a child that still has the power to make me believe in magic. I know this is the one that will be in my daughter's heart for life, she loves the Doll People books so much! We have read both of them twice already, and she is hoping and praying there will be a third. They really are wonderful; there is an abundance of humor, mystery and drama to keep any child hooked. The illustrations are fantastic- the best I've ever seen in a chapter book. Highly recommended- from both mother and daughter!

Shes disappointed because she wants more books to this series and there are none! She LOVES these books and read "the doll people" in 2 days (shes only 9) becasue she just couldn't put it down. Hopefully there will be more to come!

The 2 stories told in these books are just wonderful. My seven year old daughter couldn't get enough of the Doll Family and their wacky neighbors. The very first book, The Doll People, is full of adventure as the dolls try to find their missing aunt (also a doll, of course), escape a cat, keep family secrets, and encounter spiders. A wonderful story. The 2 main characters are very different, as one is a doll that belongs in a house that has been passed down through generations, and the other one is a new plastic family. Yet, they quickly become best friends willing to risk all to help each other. In the second book, The Meanest Doll in the World, the 2 best friend dolls have to deal with a meanie, and still stay friends, and stay true to their girl.
Beautifully written, the complex plot enchanted not only my daughter, but my husband and myself.
A must read for all!!
