Charming and imaginative.

When I was an 8 to 12 year old girl, I would have LOVED this book. I still loved it and I am much, much older than that! The whole idea of a hidden room, a beautiful doll house and a talking doll is just irresistible.

I was enchanted with this story. I thought that the circumstances surrounding Trina's life were realistic for middle school readers and the solutions to conflict and problems had solid believable solutions and endings.
