"I read this when I was six. Ooohh. Not a good idea. I was bawling because I was so scared. So of course I had to read it again. And again. Over twenty years later, I found an old copy from the eighties in the library, and read it again for the first time. And I enjoyed it every bit as much as I did when I was six. So it deserves every single one of those five stars."

    " This book was about how this girl finds this old doll house in the attic and later finds that the dolls in the doll house are not at all dead. They live, but only to tell a story of a doll house murder. I absolutely LOVED this book. It's scholastic, but so what! it was great. "

    " This book has gotten rave reviews and has won many awards, but I still thought it was just ok. I read this with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders at my school and they were bored to tears. I appreciated it a little more than they, but it was still not a stand out to me. But that is purely my opinion. "
