Amy is terrified. She hears scratching and scurrying noises coming from the dollhouse, and the dolls she was playing with are not where she left them. Dolls can’t move by themselves, she tells herself. But every night when Amy goes into the attic to check on the dollhouse, it is flled with an eerie light and the dolls have moved again! Are the dolls trying to tell her something? Are their … movements connected to the grisly murders of her own great-grandparents? In a spine-chilling climax, Amy and her sister unravel the secrets of the petrifying dollhouse murders.

This was a book I read when I was seven or eight. I’ve always remembered this story as being one of the scariest I’ve ever read. Now, as an adult, I’ve finally come back to it. Not only is the book still creepy (though not as creepy as it was years ago), it has a wonderful storyline that I’d forgotten!
Amy is a typical young girl. And like any girl growing up, she is restless to have her own life, away from her mentally challenged sister. Along this harrowing journey, involving a dollhouse and a grisly murder from the past, Amy begins to see the value in her sister and letting her grow up in her own way.
A wonderful book about sisterhood, mistakes, and growing up, this is a delightful read that will not only give you pleasant feels, but also a chill up your spine. I recommend this book for older children, as well as grown ups too! Oh, and you might want to read this with the lights on.
I read this book as a child, and it was extremely deep without stepping out of what is appropriate for its target audience (8-12 years). If your child is into ghosts and mysteries, I recommend it.
