I know this is a middle grade book, but I was expecting it to be a lot creepier than it was. Aside from that, I really couldn't stand Poppy. She was a really annoying character, who hated it any time any other character had a conversation without her. I think she was really selfish, and she didn't care about Alice at all when it came to figuring out what to do with the doll. Poppy's character is honestly the only reason why I can't let myself rate this any higher.
