What reviewers said
"The quintessential ghost story...The story is so vivid that even now, years later, I can close my eyes and see the dolls moving in the dollhouse at night, restaging the murder of Amy's grandparents. Although this book may be aimed at middle-school readers, its sneaky, creepy power is sure to appeal to teens, too."
