The Doll People By:Ann M. Martin and Laura Gogwin


"Auntie Sarah, where are you?" My auntie Sarah has been gone for 45 years and I have not seen her since then (pageI). This book was about Auntie Sarah missing and how Annabelle Doll had to go look for her auntie....... and so on.

The Doll People was a great book, it had so many interesing things going on. It was those kind of books that are mystery, and funny at the same time. Some of the things I really like was that it didn't tell you right away were Auntie Sarah was. It was up to Annabelle Doll to go look for her auntie.


Something that I did not like was that it would repeat over and over about how Kate (the human girl ) would wake up, play with dolls, and go to sleep. It would never say really what she did. I felt that the characters were very smart to make plan to capture Auntie Sarah, and also that they care for each other, and that they are really nice to each other.


The writing style was really easy to understand, it was not hard to read I bet anyone could read this . I felt that the book was not believable it talk about dolls that are alive. But really dolls can't come alive.


One connection I made with the Annabelle Doll, was that if I had a auntie that was missing I would also go and look for her because she is part of the family, and that's what family members do, they help each other out either good times or bad time. Something I found interesting was the life of the dolls because they had lives like really people do they would sleep,walk, see, eat, and they could also talk to each other. Also I like when Uncle Doll said "Well Annabelle, if you are going to go no matter what, then I am going with you." (page 43) I felt that shows love between family, caring for each other no matter what happends.

This book was so cool, and it gives other to think about how to treat other, how to love family members no matter what, and to do any thing to have the family together. I do recommend this book to other, because it would show you how to do something for family members.
