I just love the illustrations. New illustrator this time--Brett Helquist (sp?) who illustrated The Series of Unfortunate Events.

Mutually agreed to stop reading this as my daughter wants to read on her own. Can't fault her for that!

In all fairness, I haven’t read a Doll People book since early middle school, but this one was not good. Super boring, too many characters, a lot of just leaving the box and coming back with no real story arc or main theme.

The Funcraft and Doll families are back in their fourth adventure! Annabelle and Tiffany are enduring their punishment for events that occurred during The Runaway Dolls, when their human owner gives them some unwelcome news. Due to redecorating, all of the dolls will be going into storage in the attic for a month or two. But in the middle of a last minute rush, the box they are packed in is donated and heading overseas to children in need. As if this isn't bad enough, three members of the family fall out of their box and onto the big container ship bound for England. This time the job is too big for just Annabelle and Tiffany, so the rest of their families get involved too, as well as some other living dolls in nearby cartons. Recommended for fans of the series, grades 2-4. It would be better to read the other books first.
