This book was even scarier now. I'm annoyed with the parents for buying her an *antique* dollhouse rather than a bike. Then after all the action happens they don't just burn it to the ground, they sell it to another family with a daughter. I'm so happy I never had a dollhouse.
Also, do not read this in the same year as How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix. Boy together are they even scarier!!!
