I read this book as part of a nostalgic challenge to reread all 5 books of The Doll People series. What I liked: Another suspense filled adventure for dolls Annabelle and Tiffany. Meeting up with Mean Princess Mimi leads to lessons about dealing with friendships and bullies. What I disliked: It’s a bit harsh that Mimi ends up in PDS (Permanent Doll State). The author essentially killed off the villain.
