Thanks again for using our Bookmatch service. I've had a good time
thinking of some fun reads that are a little like The Doll People. Here are a few suggestions:

DiCamillo, Kate. Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
Edward Tulane, a cold-hearted and proud toy rabbit, loves only himself until he is separated from the little girl who adores him and travels across the country, acquiring new owners and listening to their hopes, dreams, and histories.

Cassedy, Sylvia. Behind the Attic Wall.

If you like the Animal Ark series, here are some titles that you might enjoy:

Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.
When he finds a lost beagle in the hills behind his West Virginia home, Marty tries to hide it from his family and the dog's real owner, a mean-spirited man known to shoot deer out of season and to mistreat his dogs.

Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.
When he discovers that he is destined to become someone's dinner, Wilbur the pig is dissolute until his spider friend Charlotte decides to help him.
