Emily is excited about staying with their grandmother this summer, but Rose is angry about having to spend so much time with her sister. It seems the only thing they have in common is the adventure that awaits them in Gran’s attic.

 

Fantasy becomes reality for Emily and Rose when they begin to restore an old dollhouse. The dolls come to life and begin to speak telepathically to the girls. Awake for the first time in 20 years, they are sad to find that their baby, Walter, is missing. Can they trust two little girls to find a tiny china doll that has been missing for so long?

 

Cooperation is the driving force in this magical tale. As the girls work to reunite and mend the Victorian doll family, they find their sibling rivalry mending as well.

 

“Not only a humorous, thoughtful adventure, the story is a smart allegory that … has the makings of a classic.”—Kirkus Reviews
