Martin (The Babysitters Club) and Laura Godwin, with illustrations from Brian Selznick (The Invention of Hugo Cabaret).
Annabelle Doll is eight years old and has been for over 100 years. She and her family, beautifully crafted china dolls, have been passed down through four generations of the same family. Not a lot has happened to them, cooped up in the dollhouse, with the same doll people, day after day, year after year...until the Funcrafts move in.
