What a Doll

I love old time radio and love hearing tough guys call women "dolls" even though I guess some might think that's degrading.  Sue me.  I'm the gal who loves Johnny Get Angry, that's just me.  The Deadly Doll isn't available in the Hennepin County Library System, but it is available in mine and I read it the other day.  It is part of the Stone Arch Shade Fantasy series, high interest, lower reading level books.  First of all, I love the covers of every book in this series.  It has been easy to promote them to kids who are struggling readers but looking for a good story.  Truly I thought Doll was a fun, spooky story.  I do have a fear of scary dolls, though.  The book is listed as being written on a second grade reading level, but with a interest level of fifth and sixth grade.  I think it is important to keep that interest level in mind when recommending books like this, as the book is as sinister as the title and cover suggest.
