I read this book originally as a child and it stuck with me. I've found myself searching for it time and again, but it was only a week or so ago that I finally found the title and author.

After rereading I can see how its books like this that have helped me develop the type of reading that I enjoy now. This isn't the best book I've ever read, but it stuck with me for at least 20 years now and that can't be a bad thing. ( )

After their mothers death, Matt and Abby go to live with their Great-Aunt Gerda. When they arrive to the house, Matt is put off by the life size dolls Gerda calls her Children. After a fire and vandalism, Matt realizes that their Great Aunt Gerda is wanted out of her house and that someone will do anything to make sure that it happens. But when two of the dolls are stolen, Matt decides that he and Abby need to get out.

This book was interesting and mild. It would be better for young children. ( )
