The Runaway Dolls by Ann M. Martin

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
At the beginning of this story, the Doll family and the Funcraft family are looking forward to two weeks of freedom as the Palmer's are going on vacation for two weeks. Tiffany, who was downstairs when it arrived, tells Annabelle about a package that was delivered just before the Palmers left. Annabelle and Tiffany decide to go investigate the package and when they get to it they discover that it contains a doll. Annabelle is certain that the doll is the long lost baby sister that was supposed to come with the Doll family when it was first delivered over one hundred years ago. Tiffany and Annabelle tell their families about their discovery, but their parents insist that they cannot let the doll out of the package because they wouldn't be able to return the package to its original state before the Palmers came home. But Annabelle and Tiffany decide to disobey their parents and let the baby doll out of the package. They then decide to runaway and there begins a series of adventures that you will have to read to believe! Brian Selznick's illustrations help tell the story.
