4.0 out of 5 stars Dolls are not all innocent, September 14, 2004

This story is not that scary, and it is more of a mystery with some supernatural things thrown in. If your looking for a fantasy then I suggest you keep on looking, this book would sadly dissapoint you. But if your ready to read any book with some supernatural stuff in it and a bit of a mystery then I would definitely recommend this book.

The characters are children, the plot centers on a curse that is told through magic of some old paper dolls. The end is a good one that finishes off the tale nicely. Middle grade kids would probably find the story enthralling, but older readers may be bored with the cliche-ness of the plot and characters. In all, a good book if you just want something different or a light read.

This is more of a supernatural thriller than a si-fi type book...one of the few that I have read by Ms. Norton (&Miller). The story of Susan and Kuydall house is a nifty tale and well worth the read if you can find it. A novel addition to any Norton collection!
