Topic > The World's Baddest Doll by Ann M. Martin and...

Exposition: Annabelle Doll is not a normal doll, when it was produced; she and some other dolls took the doll oath which said dolls were allowed to be alive. If an oath-taking doll was accidentally seen by humans, it would first be in TDS or Temporary Doll State; the second time they would be placed in the PDS or Permanent Doll State. If a doll was seen moving by a human and was seen on purpose, it would be entered into the PDS. Annabelle Doll was an old-fashioned Victorian doll, made of porcelain, it was passed down through three generations, but when the third generation family needed another dollhouse for their youngest daughter, they bought a plastic one. Since the new Funcraft dolls were made of plastic, they were a little more adventurous. Tiffany Funcraft was Annabelle Doll's best friend, they played together, talked together and started their own organization, SELMP or Society for Exploration and the Location of Missing People. Emerging Events: Aunt Sarah was Annabelle's aunt, she often explored the house both when the family wasn't there and when they were asleep. Annabelle had always wanted to follow her, but she never had the courage to ask Aunt Sarah, and one day Aunt Sarah approached Annabelle and asked her if she wanted to join her, Annabelle invited Tiffany. They go to see the spiders, it was time to go and Annabelle got trapped in the spider's web. When they helped her out, moments later, the family got out, Aunt Sarah managed to hide, Annabelle and Tiffany were already too far ahead. They jumped into their book bags and went to school with Kate, and when the hall was quiet they started wandering around looking for Kate, the owner of Funcrafts. School ends, the two dolls did not go back in time and the next day they wandered through the school corridors, they immediately returned to their book bags and stayed there all day. To their surprise, they ended up in the wrong book bag; it was Friday so they wouldn't be home until Monday. The Annabelle and Tiffany family come home on long weekends and we meet the world's baddest doll, Princess Mimi. Princess Mimi fearfully corners the other living dolls, and then meets Annabelle and Tiffany; when she leaves we find out that they don't want to be her friends because she thinks she is the queen of all the dolls and treats her friends like slaves.
