Fourteen-year-old Layla unknowingly puts her family's life in danger when she brings home a demonic doll that wants something from its owners and will not stop until it is theirs. - Grand Central Pub
The spine-chilling next installment in the middle-grade horror series based on Nickelodeonâs hit show Are You Afraid of the Dark? from YA horror sensation Danielle Valentine.
Everyone wants a Ms. Mabel doll.
And the dolls want something in return...
Ms. Mabelâs Doll Emporium can make a doll that looks like anyone, customizing every last detail from hair color down to the shape of its tiny fingernails until you have your very own âmini-me.â Fourteen-year-old Layla has saved up her babysitting money to buy one for her little sister, Emily. Emily is dying for one of her own, and Layla knows exactly how it feels to covet something.
Sheâs never been so jealous over anything as sheâd been over the doll of her former best friend, Quinn. Then Quinn moved away, and she and the doll disappeared entirely from Laylaâs life. The loss still stings. Which is whyâwhen the two sisters go to the store to pick up Emilyâs dollâLayla is shocked to see Quinnâs old doll sitting on a shelf, covered in dust.
Layla hardly recognizes herself when she stuffs the doll into her backpack as the girls exit the shop . . . and the afternoon gets even stranger when they return home. Layla hears whispering coming from the closet where sheâs stashed the Quinn doll. She wakes up in the middle of the night, frozen in fear as something creeps around the shadows. Her beloved tortoiseshell cat, Anne Boleyn, is behaving as if possessed. And she could swear the teeth on Emilyâs doll look somehow . . . sharper than before.
Then Emily falls ill, and when Laylaâs joints begin to stiffen unnaturally, she knows the dolls are to blame. They want something from their owners, and they wonât stop until its theirs. Can Layla track down the answers she desperately needs? Or will Emily and Layla eventually disappear, just like Quinn did?
