The Dollhouse: a Ghost Story
The Dollhouse: a Ghost Story | Charis Cotter
4 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
A creepy, mysterious dollhouse takes center stage in this atmospheric middle-grade mystery for fans of Doll Bones and Small Spaces. Alice's world is falling apart. Her parents are getting a divorce, and they've cancelled their yearly cottage trip -- the one thing that gets Alice through the school year. Instead, Alice and her mom are heading to some small town where Alice's mom will be a live-in nurse to a rich elderly lady. The house is huge, imposing and spooky, and everything inside is meticulously kept and perfect -- not a fun place to spend the summer. Things start to get weird when Alice finds a dollhouse in the attic that's an exact replica of the house she's living in. Then she wakes up to find a girl asleep next to her in her bed -- a girl who looks a lot like one of the dolls from the dollhouse . . . When the dollhouse starts to change when Alice isn't looking, she knows she has to solve the mystery. Who are the girls in the dollhouse? What happened to them? And what is their connection to the mean and mysterious woman who owns the house?

Wow, I loved this! It‘s not the typical ghost story or the typical living dolls story, though it has elements of both. Even though it‘s written for kids it genuinely kept me guessing. I can see this becoming a classic. #Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash @StayCurious #Spookoween2022 @TheSpineView #31by31 @Catsandbooks #PointsAThon @dieareader @GHABI4ROSES

Jemgirl2014 Have you ever read “The Dollhouse Murders” by Betty Wren Wright? I read this book when I was in elementary school many moons ago. Your post reminded me of how much I loved that book. 😊 2y
