The Dollmaker of Krakow















This was quite an interesting book - fantasy or historical fiction?  

Karolina is a doll who lived in the Land of Dolls.  Unfortunately her land was overcome by rats and she was devastated.  But then, magically she was transported to the land of humans by a dollmaker who lived in Krakow.  There she helped him make friends with a Jewish father and daughter.  But war affected the human world as well and Karolina, the dollmaker, and their friends saw the rise of Hitler and World War II.  Can the dollmaker work his magic, make the right choices, and make a difference?

Very interesting take on the Holocaust and World War II.  I will be curious to see how this is received.  I don't think it will work in my library but at a junior high I think it will work.
