This book ends with one of my favorite quotes: "Whoever fights monsters, should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster."

Dolls are creepy little things, aren't they? Neither one of my kids played with dolls. They were scared of them. And it wasn't just because I told them that dolls come to life at night when their tiny little owners are sleeping.

Mr. Hands is carved out of wood, with stubs for legs and really, really long arms with claws for fingers. Who wouldn't want that under the tree come Christmas morning? Anyway, Sarah loved that doll and it was one of the few things left behind by her murderer. Lucy, Sarah's mom, keeps the doll and discovers she is able to 'set things right' by manipulating the doll's alter ego.

Very creepy. Recommend for camping trips when things are wandering around outside, the wind is blowing and branches are snapping.
