The Witch Doll

Linda and Angie are relieved to find that unpleasant Joanna has found a new friend for the summer. Their relief is shortlived when Linda realises that Tilda bears an uncanny resemblance to the doll she was given by Mr Baldock, a local second-hand dealer. Slowly the true history of the evil toy is revealed. Joanna is in great danger and the friends are compelled to use all their ingenuity to save her. The story is rich in character, with an abundance of cliff-hangers and the plot twists and turns intriguingly. It's written in a clear, accessible style and will appeal to 10-12 year-olds who love a mystery.
