The Meanest Doll in the World

BOOK NAME: The Meanest Doll in the World
AUTHORS: Ann M. Martin and Laura Godwin

Annabelle Doll, Tiffany Funcraft, and the rest of their families are dolls with secret lives. When the Palmer family, the people that own them, are asleep or away, the dolls move around and visit each other’s houses.

One day, as Annabelle and Tiffany are on their way back from an exploration in the attic, they suddenly hear the Palmers coming home. Caught on the spot, with no idea what to do next, Tiffany and Annabelle see one of the human’s backpacks, and hide in there. They stay there for the night, but in the morning, they find themselves in a place no live doll would ever dare go to: SCHOOL. They realize that they will be stuck there until the Palmer’s daughter finishes school. Tiffany decides to tour the building. Although Annabelle is a little hesitant at first, she agrees to tag along.

Oh no! The kids start getting out of class, so Annabelle and Tiffany jump into a backpack that they think is the right one. Very quickly, though, they realize that they are not in the Palmer’s house. They learn that in this new home, the dolls are alive as well, and there is one doll, named Mimi, that thinks she rules over all dollkind. When Annabelle and Tiffany are able to decrease Mimi’s power, they jump into the backpack they came in, and hope that when they get to school, they will find the right backpack and get back to the Palmer’s house. Little do they know that Mimi wants revenge on them, so she follows them all the way home. What will the dolls do about Mimi in their home? How will they catch her? How will they stay safe?

I really loved this book! It provides you with a look on the human world from a different perspective. When I read the book, I felt as though I was a doll with a secret life as well, going on all the adventures. I would recommend this book to anyone ages 9 and up.

There is no actual name for the series. The first book is called “Doll People”, the second is called “The Meanest Doll in the World”, and the third is called “Runaway Dolls”. I actually wrote a review for “Runaway Dolls” which I hope comes up soon!

even if it’s not my favorite series, i will be sure to love it. Sometimes i know which kind of book to read and which one is good just by looking at the cover, and if i see this book in the library, like i said before i would borrow it and i would just look at the cover.
i am going to recommend this book to my friends and tell them how wonderful it sounds.
