The Dollhouse Murders (35th Anniversary Edition)

Description:

Dolls can't move by themselves. . . . Or can they?

This special anniversary edition of the hair-raising mystery that's kept readers up at night for thirty-five years features a foreword by Goosebumps creator R.L. Stine.

Amy is terrified. She hears scratching and scurrying noises coming from the dollhouse in the attic, and the dolls she was playing with are not where she left them.
Dolls can't move by themselves, she tells herself. But every night when Amy goes up to check on the dollhouse, it's filled with an eerie light and the dolls have moved again! Are the dolls trying to tell her something? Could this all be connected to the murders of her great-grandparents?

Sinister secrets unravel as Amy gets closer to revealing the mystery of the dolls in this haunting novel that combines complicated family relationships with a bone-chilling mystery. Even readers who love scary stories will want to keep the lights on after finishing!

The all-new foreword and jacket art make this spooky classic, an Edgar award nominee, perfect for sharing with a new generation. 


Editorial Reviews

Review

"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." —School Library Journal

I bought this book for myself (33) I remember reading it when I was in elementary school. it started my love for horror and mystery. This book isn't too scary for kids. I wanted it so I could read it again now that im older and it was an easy read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book and great mystery. Still raises the hairs on the back of my neck

I read this book the first time with my class as a fourth grader. It was fantastic. It held the whole class spellbound. The teacher read it to us. I remember wanting to check it out at the library so I could see what was gonna happen. I was recently recovering from surgery and stumbled on it again and got the Kindle version and it still got me even though I’ve already read it although it has been a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well purchase again

Great book for older grade schoolers! I read this when I was in 5th grade and really enjoyed it! Now I have a daughter in 5th grade, so I ordered it for her because she likes suspense and mystery books. She is enjoying it as well!

I absolutely love this book! I read it back in the 7th or 8th grade and I have recently decided to read it again. I didn't realize when I bought it that it was the 35th anniversary edition with a forward from R.L Stein in the front! I was very excited to find that! I plan on reading this to my girls (who are 10 and 11)! They will love this book, I just know it!

After reading so many reviews by adults saying this was their favorite book in around the 5th grade I became intrigued and had to try it myself. My own children may have read it and I just didn't know but I wanted something short to read this afternoon. Great entertainment and if my girls were younger I would recommend it to them.Amy is just turning 13 and is annoyed with younger sister who is mentally challenged. It seems she is always responsible for her sister and her sister seems to cramp her style. She runs away to her great grandparents' old house to see her Aunt Clare who is there to clean it out and and get it ready to sell. Aunt Clare understands Amy's frustration and suggests that maybe she and Louanne, her sister, need some space from each other. Amy discovers a magnificent dollhouse in the attic that is an exact replica of her great grandparents' house. There are mysterious goings on regarding the dollhouse which frighten Amy but also draw her to it when she believes it might be trying to show her something. A quick read, and even suspenseful and entertaining for a 64 year-old grandmother like me!

Great book !
