The Mennyms
By: Sylvia Waugh
Young Adult Fiction
The Mennyms are a creating of a wonderful seamstress. Some time after her death, the life-sized dolls come to life and inhabit a house in England. For the last 40 year, life has remained much the same. They do not eat, or age, but enjoy playing pretend. A letter from their landlord sets of a series of events that bring about some welcomed changes to the family.
This book was really charming. I really enjoyed reading about the dolls pretending to be human, and their quirks. However, the book had a surprising amount of depth and was really captivating. This book was similar in style to "The Borrowers," and I imagine anyone that liked that book will enjoy this one as well. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars.
