1. Anna was obsessed with dolls. She couldn't make any friends because she would be too busy with her dolls, but she only had one friend named Josie, and she was scared that someone was waiting outside her window in the woods, so she would sleep in Josie's room 2. Grandma Jennie would take care of Anna because her mom got a job in the city, but Grandma Jennie wouldn't let Anna bring dolls in the house. Then Anna had to move, so Grandma Jennie was crying. 3. Josie was Anna's only friend, but since Anna kept playing with dolls and not talking to Josie, Josie got mad and started treating Anna like a stranger.

I recommend this book for no younger than 3rd grade up to 8th grade because it is scary

Good Points

There was this girl named anna and she lived with her mom, and her grandma lived close, but Anna only had one friend because she wouldn't talk to anyone but dolls but the dolls were acting weird one time when she woke up the dol had her hands arround annas neck then when she went to sleep the dolls would disappear so she blamed it on her sister but it wasent her sister than when she was sleeping the doll came right by her and scratch her. When her mom wasn't home, she had to go to her grandma jennies but Grandma Jennie would not let her bring dolls. But then her mom came home and told Grandma Jennie and Anna that her and Anna had to move because she got a job in the city, so then they were all sad when they left. Grandma Jennie was crying then, when they moved to the apartment josie also lived there, and Anna found the box of dolls she hadn't seen in a year, so she started playing with them, but the door was opened and Josie saw them and ripped them out of her hands. She said never and growled you are never playing with these again
