The Meanest Doll in the World

I am almost finished reading The Meanest Doll in the World by Ann Martin and Laura Godwin. I can't forget this book's illustrator, Brian Selznick, because of his amazing pictures on multiple pages. The Meanest Doll in the World is in a series (titles in order): 1 The Doll People 2 The Runaway Dolls 3 The Meanest Doll in the World. This book is about two dolls who come to life and they accidentally end up at their owners school. The girls decide to take a look around the school and then get back into the backpack. When they reach home, it's not the Palmer's house they're used to. The girls are in a messy room that belongs to a boy, not their owner, Kate. A horrible doll, Princess Mimi (Mean Mimi), comes to attack Tiffany and her friend Annabell doll. They meet some trolls, the Cutouts, and three other mini dolls who have been bullied by Mean Mimi. The two dolls need to help save the others when Mimi attacks. Mean Mimi is mad at the other dolls because they don't want to be her friends anymore, due to her bullying them. She is also angry at Tiffany and Annabelle because they are helping the others. Mean Mimi controls some of the timid dolls and they attack too. There's a big commotion in the boy's room, but the dolls must be sure they won't be seen alive by a human.

I think Tiffany Funcraft is my favorite character in The Meanest Doll in the World. This is because Tiffany is adventurous. She is daring and always wants to explore, unlike picky Annabelle. Tiffany always loved her adventures with Auntie Sarah, Annabelle's aunt. She wasn't afraid of spiders or even Princess Mimi. Tiffany stood up to Mean Mimi when all the other dolls were so scared she was going to damage them. Tiffany was always nice to Annabelle, even when Annabelle hadn't treated her the same. Tiffany was always happy and cheering people up. She encouraged the other dolls to not give up and keep trying. That shows that Tiffany was brave and helpful. She always tried her best at everything, even if she wasn't interested.

I'm predicting that in the last chapter I have, everything will get back to normal. When Mean Mimi followed Tiffany and Annabelle home, she caused even more trouble. Now she was being seen in front of humans (alive!) and was being very rude and disruptive. Then she jumped off of a book shelf in front of Kate  (ut-oh!) and went to PDS. PDS is Permanent Doll State which rarely happens, if a doll is fully seen by a human. Mean Mimi looks paralyzed because her doll life is over. Everyone feels relieved, but it's sad. If I were of the the dolls who was having to deal with Mimi, I wouldn't care. I know that seems mean, but, it's true. Mean Mimi was a bully and she was putting dollkind at risk.

I SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THIS BOOK, BUT YOU SHOULD START FROM THE BEGINNING. THANKS FOR READING SUCH A LONG POST!! :)
