The Dollhouse Murders (35th Anniversary Edition)
About
Amy is sure dolls can't move on their own, until the ones in the attic dollhouse keep changing places and glowing with an eerie light at night. As she digs deeper, she starts to wonder if the dolls are trying to tell her something about the long-ago murder of her great-grandparents. This spine-tingling classic, an Edgar Award nominee, is perfect for any young reader who loves a good scary mystery.
Why it’s great
Dolls cannot move by themselves. Or can they? For 35 years this classic mystery has kept readers up at night with the story of Amy and the dollhouse that seems to rearrange itself. With a foreword by R.L. Stine, this anniversary edition draws young readers into a world of crime scene observation and unexplained clues, and into the spirit of Frances Glessner Lee, who spent her life turning miniature crime scenes into tools for justice.
