The Meanest Doll Ever


Title: The Meanest Doll Ever
Author: Ann M. Martin
Series: The Doll People (Book 2)
Genre: Juvenile Fiction



The sequel to The Doll People is the Meanest Doll Ever. Again we follow Annabelle and Tiffany on their adventures.

Since we last saw the girls, they have been going on lots of Adventures with Auntie Sophia. On one such adventure they take too much time in the attic and start towards Kate's bedroom a little too late. Annabelle and Tiffany barely have time to duck into Kate's backpack before Kate comes out into the hallway.

The girls realize they are at school and Outside, which is a BIG deal. After the hallway at school is quiet the two steal out and take a look at school. They don't plan their time very well and end up stuck in a Kindergarten classroom where Tiffany is played with by all the students. The next morning they creep into another backpack, thinking it's Kate's, but they're wrong. The dolls go home with BJ.

When they get to BJ's house, they meet lots of other dolls and Mean Mimi - the princess doll that terrorizes all of the other dolls in the house. The dolls work together with Tiffany and Annabelle and are able to end Mimi's "rule." Monday comes around and Tiffany and Annabelle go back to school and make it back to Kate's backpack and finally home.

Their families are happy to see them, but all hell starts to break loose when the girls realize that Mean Mimi has come home with them as well and plans on making their lives miserable.

A cute addition to the original. The third book is The Runaway Dolls, which is sitting on the holds shelf at my library.
