The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Judith was happy about visiting Grandmother Hollis, who ran a doll hospital, but living in the city didn't seem exciting to her twin brother Jonathan until the night strange things began to happen. Why, the children wondered, did a midnight visitor ransack Grams' doll hospital, and then not take anything?
Judy and Jon decide to find the answer, and before they are through they find mysteries all around them. A shifty stranger lurks outside the hospital and drops a paper with Grams' address on it. Another day he follows Judy. With their new friend Detective Purdy, who is trying to track down the midnight visitor, the children set traps in ash cans and give a Hallowe'en party full of surprises. The end of the story is the biggest surprise of all. Mystery at the Doll Hospital is another of Elizabeth Honness' popular stories for boys and girls in the upper grades.
