The Collector’s Book of Doll’s Clothes: Costumes in Miniature by Dorothy S. Coleman.
This is a great quick chilling tale for middle school kids. There is nothing gory, no bad language, and no violence. It does have some scene that may be a bit freaky for younger kids. Everything fit together quite well and made a great story. Oct 30, LG A Library Girl’s Familiar Diversions rated it liked it Shelves: acquired-library , format-print , 3-star , horror , read , middle-grade.
Although Josie loves her grandmother, she isn’t thrilled about moving in with her. She misses Chicago and, since her grandmother doesn’t have internet, she can’t contact her old friends.
However, Josie’s mom recently lost her job, and Josie’s grandmother has been displaying worrying signs of Alzheimer’s, so Josie’s mom decides that this move is for the best. Josie’s grandmother has several odd rules. First, Josie and her sister Anna are not allowed to leave any windows open after dark.
Second, Although Josie loves her grandmother, she isn’t thrilled about moving in with her. Second, no dolls are allowed in the house. And third, Josie and Anna are not allowed to enter the woods behind Josie’s grandmother’s house. Josie’s grandmother also keeps talking about someone named Beryl – Beryl is hungry, and wants to take Josie and her sister away. Part of Josie wants to dismiss this as signs of her grandmother’s Alzheimer’s, but part of her worries that there might be some truth to it, especially after she and Anna have nightmares about a doll and a creepy house in the woods.
But then Josie makes her first friend at school, a girl named Vanessa. Vanessa is kind, cool, and a vegetarian just like Josie. She lives alone with her aunt. Who collects porcelain dolls. And whose house just happens to be located in the woods, and look just like the one in Josie and Anna’s nightmares. But surely it’s just a coincidence.
My eldest niece is now old enough to start recommending books, and this is the first book she recommended to me. I later learned that she probably recommended it because she was in the process of reading it and loving it – my sister told me that she ended up disliking and feeling dissatisfied with the ending.
Still, my bookish self was happy to get the recommendation. Here’s hoping for more in the future. Alexander tapped into quite a few real-life fears in this book: moving to a new place, trying to make new friends when everyone else already seems to have formed their own cliques, worrying about elderly relatives, and just generally feeling out of place and cut off.
Josie can’t contact her friends back in Chicago because of her lack of internet, and she seems to be the only vegetarian at a school with horrible lunches that always feature meat in the main course. The creepy dolls, strange dreams, and weird sounds were icing on the cake.
To my adult self, this book wasn’t particularly scary. Still, Josie’s first visit to Vanessa’s house was pretty good. Josie immediately found the place creepy but tried to pretend that she was fine being there, because she didn’t want to lose Vanessa’s friendship and Vanessa’s explanation for why it looked the way it did seemed plausible her aunt was a big doll collector and was too injured to keep the house properly maintained.
Unfortunately, things got a bit too hokey for me when the story behind Beryl, the dolls, and the house in the woods was finally explained. I’m interested to hear which aspect of the ending my niece had problems with. I can think of two possibilities: the fate of one of the characters and the “you thought it was over but it isn’t really over” last page.
Based on what my sister said, I’m guessing it was the latter that bugged her. All in all, this was mostly okay until the revelations at the end. Oct 02, Meg Williams- Librarian rated it it was amazing. They all wanted to read it and told me they were going to buy it from the Book Fair, so I ordered it on Amazon so I wouldn’t take a Book Fair copy that could belong to a student. It was out of stock on Amazon too!
I finally got it on Saturday and I couldn’t wait to start reading. I read the whole thing yesterday. It was just the right amount of creepy for middle grade readers, and I made sure to request a copy to be cataloged for the library so that I can recommend it to kids who want scary books.
Technically in my library it will belong in the grade section, but I think some 3rd graders might be a little young. It’s so new that there isn’t a lot of information on it yet AR points or reviews from parents , so if you are considering this book for your child, my best advice is to take the couple of hours and read it yourself first.
It isn’t super scary, and reading is always different than watching it happen, but if you aren’t sure about your child’s tolerance for scary stuff, I recommend reading it first.
It’s also great so I would recommend it to adults even if you aren’t gauging for a child! Pair that with a seemingly-senile grandmother, a mysterious new friend, whispering winds and a dark woods, and you have Josie and Anna’s new life. Find out what happens to the girls by reading this awesome book!
This was my first book of SpookyReadsOctober and I can’t wait to read more spooky books! View 1 comment. Sep 17, Lisa Jeffcoat rated it really liked it Shelves: elementary-middle-grade-fiction.
This is a scary 4th grade and up read! If your students like Goosebumps, they will love this read! Josie, her sister Anna, and her mom need to move in with their grandmother.
After living in the city, the secluded wooded town seems like a beautiful move. But grandmother has a few rules that intrigue Josie. She thinks it is not a problem that she can follow them, even if it is a strange request! But then things begin to happen and the beautiful woods seem to be calling Josie which would cause her This is a scary 4th grade and up read!
Then there is her new friend, Victoria. I would have given this book 5 stars if it had a diverse cast of characters. This book would be awesome if Anna was a brother instead. It is a book full of female characters which leave my male readers a lack to connect to a character! Boys love scary books!
They want to see themselves in a character. I am certain my male students will be disheartened to read only female characters! Jul 05, Alyson Stone rated it really liked it Shelves: middle-fic , horror. Book: The Collector Author: K. My students reading this title around Halloween and told me that if I was a decent horror fan, then I needed to add it to my collection. Like always, they were right. This story is creepy, but not too creepy for middle grade. I would put it on the same terms of Mary Downing Hahn.
This deals with creepy dolls and a loner in the woods. Josie has just moved here from the city. Her grandma has strange rules about not going into the woods and no dolls. Josie just thinks her grandma is nuts.
Then, she and her sister both make friends who seem strange, but treat the girls well. Let me tell you, there is nothing more creepy than hearing voices coming out of the woods in the dead of night. The only person who does is their grandma, who keeps saying that Beryl is coming for them.
It just sounds downright creepy. Plus, if you look at the cover. Yeah, uh-huh, very creepy. That cover alone will be enough to draw in middle school readers. The spooky feeling is worked in throughout the story. Even though it was a rather predictable storyline, I still wanted to keep reading.
There is just something about the way this book is presented that made me want to keep going. I also like how this deals with a city girl moving to the country and struggling to fit in. Think about your middle school days. Believe it or not, this is a pretty common thing that middle schoolers to have to deal with. Again, prefect set up for the audience.
Middle schoolers do want to read about things that they can relate to. So, overall this book has the right amount of creepy for middle school. Older readers will also enjoy this, especially if you are trying to get into the horror genre. Nov 22, Rachael Fryman added it Shelves: Six word summary: Creepy lore, creepy woods, creepy dolls! Loved: I think this is a pretty decent MG horror novel for those craving more in the genre. I know that, while I as an adult found it fairly predictable, I still wanted to finish it to see what happened!
Verdict: Add to your TBR. Jun 10, Mysha Sajid rated it it was amazing. This book was kinda scary. I think a theme for this book would be “listen to your elders” because they probably know better.
Oct 23, Avery rated it did not like it. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I finished reading The Collector by: K. This story is about a small family moving out to the country with their grandmother, who is very sick. Their grandmother has a set of rules they have to follow. Windows must be shut at night, no dolls in the house, and no going into the woods. The main character, a sixth grade girl by the name of Josie, hates the country.
The two talk, and hang out. Eventually, Vanessa comes to sleep over at our lovely protagonists house, and the grandma panics over her being there. It is soon discovered that Beryl, the nondescript antagonist, is using Vanessa to get to the main protagonist. Personally, I though the book was horrible. While I, a 13 year old girl, may or may not be the intended demographic, I still should feel something for the characters. All I felt was annoyance. My anger is directed at the author, who clearly does not know how teenagers really act.
In moments were I was supposed to be concerned for the characters, or worried that they may not make it out alive, I felt nothing. The author has no concept of suspense or even how to make a half decent character.
None of the characters, except maybe the grandmother if I want to be nice, had any sort of redeeming qualities to offset how fictitious and two-dimensional they seem.
It was so painful to read, and somehow the author managed to convince me to hate the characters rather than want them to make it out okay. Sep 23, Autumn rated it really liked it Shelves: I saw this book at my kid’s book fair and the cover just called to me. This is a good book for the middle grader maybe from 5th on up.
The plot wasn’t very long and it was straight to the point. Josie and her sister have to move in and help their mom out with their grandma. Though it seems their grandmother is sick and swears that something is out in the woods.
There are rules to follow and you better follow them for Beryl will get you. Also, what do dolls have to do with this story? You gotta r I saw this book at my kid’s book fair and the cover just called to me. You gotta read it to find out. Josie, of course, wants to go back home that is until she makes a friend named Vanessa. Vanessa, it seems though seems very mysterious and it isn’t until towards the end we find out why she is the way she is. It will take a simple task to the break the curse that is within the woods and at the house of Beryl.
I will say I was curious on the writing that was left on Josie’s locker but I do have a feeling that it might be from a certain character that couldn’t speak out in fear of Beryl. When you read the book you will understand. I am not sure if my son would like the book because it has to do with dolls but I may try it out on him. It isn’t scary but it does have a creepy factor to it. View 2 comments. Nov 13, Kim Friant rated it really liked it. I was seriously creeped out during the whole thing!
And I was very impressed with the unique story, I felt like I was reading something new. Beryl is a terrifying villain! I could totally see her in my head and she scared me. I did feel like some loose ends were left and that keeps me from giving it 5 stars. Then again, any future children of mine will be weird enough to start out with scary books so what do I know! I think this is a great read for anyone who likes creepy stories! Sep 18, Leilahny rated it it was amazing. This is a amazing book called,”The Collector,” by K.
R Alexander. Do you like scary stories? If you do, I recommend this book for you! A girl named Josie, her little sister Anna, and their mom move to their grandmothers house from the city of Chicago because their mom lost her job.
Her grandmother has only three rules. One, never leave your windows open after dark. Three, never, ever, go by the house in the woods. Anna and Josie’s grandmother is mentally ill and alwa This is a amazing book called,”The Collector,” by K. Anna and Josie’s grandmother is mentally ill and always mentions someone named Beryl, and that Beryl wants to take Anna and Josie away. Anna and Josie’s mom say to ignore it because she can’t tell reality from fantasy anymore.
But after some strange events occur, Josie thinks her grandmother is right. If its true, then who’s Beryl? Jun 05, Irlxnda rated it liked it. I liked the plot, it was unique, ish. But when I reached the end it was obviously quite rushed by the author to finish it.
It was getting cheesier and cheesier. I finally finished it, but the author could have done a much better ending Sep 17, Dawn Meyer rated it really liked it. This book, although aimed for younger readers, kept me intrigued. Even though I did see some things coming, I was still invested to see what was going to be done. Very satisfying.
Nov 17, Jayden rated it it was amazing. It was creepy but i liked it. May 15, Amit rated it it was amazing Shelves: pdf-ebook-online , horror , favorites , Oh Sweet Jesus Christ!!! Now that’s what I call a horror ghost story when it includes with my forever nightmare thing Doll too.
I just hate Dolls and Mannequins or Clowns too. They give me the load of total creep and nightmare. Even though I couldn’t help but kept reading when it is about them, yeah you can say I want to face my fear? Well my answer is it has something more then just my fear. My alarm clock started blaring.
I reached over to turn it off. My hand bump Oh Sweet Jesus Christ!!! My hand bumped into something. Slowly, I opened my eyes, tried to make my vision adjust. There was a doll on my nightstand. A doll that looked an awful lot like Beryl. So that’s how there grandma warned them. The story immediately go straight to the point and from the first chapter it just hooked me up and I just couldn’t put it down.
This book to me was so addictive that I had to finish it in just one seating as if I got no choice. The truth is I didn’t want to out the book down until I dinish it Josie didn’t like her new school as no one wants to be friend with her but Venessa.
That weird girl seems very nice to her and soon they became best friend. Venessa has her aunt to make her tiffin for her school but nobody else. As Josie’s little sister Anna too made friendship with a girl named Carol, Carol who got a weird characteristics about her too.
So when the Venessa invites Anna and Josie both they surpeised at the propose. But eventually they went with her and it was in the back yard of their grandma’s house in to deep woods. It was creepy and unnatural environment in Venessa’s house and the most frightening thing was when Venessa gift a creepy looking doll to Anna.
Well the game just started from there at the very spot and who was Beryl actually? The name that mentioned by their granma but Josie’s mom told them it’s all bogus story. But there’s more to that story not believe it’s fake. Terrible truth is waiting for them to reveal and Josie’s sister in danger too. So, what should Josie do to keep Anna ok or alive? Full This was a surprisingly creepy book, for being middle grade level. The imagery surrounding the dolls, particularly in the dream sequences, did NOT hold back.
One scene even acted as a bit of jump scare, if you can believe that for a written story. Next page. Kindle Cloud Reader Read instantly in your browser. Customers who viewed this item also viewed.
