The Dollhouse: A Ghost Story, Charis Cotter

★★★★★

An eerie little tale that twists and turns through dreams and memories. The story appears simple with familiar elements of a ghost story: a creepy old house, a mysterious dollhouse, nightmares. But soon the story wades into memories of a family long past and the house and dollhouse come alive blending together giving the whole story a dream-like quality. 

As a middle-grade story, it also dabbles in neurodiverse characters, divorce, and complex parental relationships where it makes sense to the story. 

As little Alice tumbles further down the proverbial rabbit hole, the story builds every time she closes her eyes. Perfect for little fans of ghosts, historical fiction, girl-lead fiction, and spooky dollhouses.
