In the third installment of the Doll People series, Annabelle and Tiffany find themselves on a dangerous and suspenseful adventure. They have a runaway to protect, a doll they found in a mysterious package who they think might be Annabelle's long-lost sister. Lynn Redgrave narrates with a measured cadence that allows the story to gently unfold, and her distinct vocalizations for each of the dolls make it easy to follow the plot. In particular, Redgrave gives Annabelle's new sister a light, innocent voice that is fitting for the inquisitiveness of a young child. This character trait adds humor to the moments when she's also exceedingly knowledgeable, given all the things she heard during her many years in the misplaced box.
