Summary: Childlike magic...wonderful!
Comment: When I was seven or so, I would pretent that dolls would come to life when I was out of the room...but I never read a book about it until now - and I wish I could have had it then. This book was doubly nice because its plot contains mystery and adventure as well as magic. It's more than any old "kid's doll book"; it's a good story, too. I'm twelve - almost too old for dolls - but this is the kind of book no one's too old for. With a captivating plot and vivid characters, it's an enjoyable read for teens as well - and even grownups wouldn't mind enjoying it as a light, cheerful read.

Summary: When the Dolls Woke
Comment: Couple of years after reading "Midnight at the Dollhouse", I discovered "When the Dolls Woke". I felt like I had read a book somewhere like it.Then I remembered about Melissa, her falling- off-the-tree accident and that her brother had built the dollhouse for her. And how Captin Wurling had brought Miss Cherry and Miss Blossom, Martinique, and all the beautiful treasures. If you're wondering what "When the Dolls Woke" is about, this is it:
Abigail(Gail)'s Great-Great-Aunt Abby has promised to keep the beautiful old dollhouse in the family. So when the local musuem offers to buy the dollhouse, she turns down the offer, and instead gives it to Gail. Gail has just moved from her "crowded" apartment to the suburbs and is delighted with the lovley house and its residents. But ageing causes the once brand-new dolls and dollhouse to be soiled, ripped, stained, and dirty.
So Gail, along with Aunt Abby, fix the dolls and dollhouse untill they seem brand new. But there is a mystery about the dollhouse; there is a note saying that there is a fortune hidden in the dollhouse. Aunt Abby always belived that there was no fortune, but Gail sure believes the note. With the help of Sir Gregory, the "papa" doll, they discover the hidden treasure of the family dollhouse.

Summary: Wonderful Sequel!
Comment: After reading "Midnight in the Dollhouse", I went to the library and much to my surprise, found there was a sequel to the book. After I finished "When The Dolls Woke", I was totally in love with the whole story line, which spans serveral generations.
Her Great aunt Abigail has decided to send Gail an age old Dollhouse, rather than sell it off to a museam. Gail is quickly attracted to it and the doll family consisting of Sir Gregory, Lady Alice, Maribelle, Tommy and Baby Winky. She notices a motto on the fireplace and wonders what it means-could there really be treasure hidden in the tiny victorian mansion? When her aunt comes to visit she has bad news-she doesn't have as much money as she thought! Can the dolls give Gail a clue to where the treasure is hidden? Or is it too late?
Whatever your age may be, I highly reccomend this book to anyone who loves mysterys involving dollhouses, dolls, and their young owners.
