(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Lisa Perrin. When evil rats overthrow the Land of the Dolls, living doll Karolina (who'd been happily working as a seamstress) is mysteriously transported to Kraków just before World War II. There she finds a happy home, albeit briefly, with a gifted magician/dollmaker. It's an unusual, engaging, but ultimately bleak tale that doesn't shy away from the horrors of Nazi-occupied Poland. Timeline.
