Explore the exciting miniature world of Annabelle Doll and her plastic friend Tiffany Funcraft in these three beloved adventure stories from from bestselling and award-winning authors Anne M. Martin (The Babysitters Club) and Laura Godwin, with illustrations from Brian Selznick (The Invention of Hugo Cabaret).

Annabelle Doll is eight years old and has been for over 100 years. She and her family, beautifully crafted china dolls, have been passed down through four generations of the same family. Not a lot has happened to them, cooped up in the dollhouse, with the same doll people, day after day, year after year…until the Funcrafts move in. 
 
Unlike the cautious, traditional Doll family in every way, the Funcrafts are new, plastic, and carefree, delivered straight from the factory shelves! Tiffany Funcraft is an adventurer—and after 100 years of boredom, that’s just what Anabelle needs.
 
In The Doll People, The Meanest Doll in the World, and The Runaway Dolls Annabelle and Tiffany brave household mysteries, a trip to school, and a quest through the great outdoors! These three classic and timeless tales, with captivating illustrations, are perfect for new readers hungry for adventure and excitement.

  Publishers Weekly, starred review
• "It's not easy to write a good book about dolls. Martin and Godwin not only set up a realistic doll world but also provide a credible mystery. The story gets a wonderful boost from Brian Selznick's pencil drawings...he catches every bit of humor."
  Booklist

  Horn Book
• "A lighthearted touch and a dash of drama make this a satisfying read. Selznick's illustrations are perfectly suited to the innocent charm of the dolls and do much to draw readers into their world."
  School and Library Journal
• "'The Doll People' is part of a solid tradition of doll stories. But Ann M. Martin and Laura Godwin have given their amusing novel a decidedly contemporary twist: 19th-century porcelain meets 20th-century plastic."
