Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Nine-year-old Anna's younger sister is little and cute, and her older sister is smart and pretty. Anna is stuck in the middle. She feels special only when she's downstairs in her family's doll repair shop with her favorite doll. But the doll doesn't really belong to Anna-once it's been mended, it will go home to its real owner.
When World War 1 threatens to put the doll repair shop out of business, Anna dreams of saving the day. She also dreams of finding a way to keep her beloved doll-for good.
Perfect for doll lovers, this is a timeless story about the value of family and the power of creativity.
When World War I breaks out, nine-year-old Anna thinks of a way to save her family's beloved New York City doll repair shop. Includes brief author's note about the history of the Madame Alexander doll, a glossary, and timeline.
