The Heart of Play

by Jay Palmer

Overview

Exciting sequel to "The Magic of Play"!

Still bitter after their friendship was sundered in Arcadia, Hilary must overcome her anger and rescue Audrey. Yet Audrey's captor is so terrible that Great Aunt Virginia won't let her go alone; Audrey and Hilary's mothers must join them in the Magic Realm of Dolls.

One by one, the Voodoo Doll possesses her doll-friends, using their hands to set in motion her diabolical plan. Hilary's jumping skills can match any magic, but the Voodoo Doll controls Audrey and her magic jump rope, which equals any powers that Hilary can summon. Yet Hilary can't fight Audrey for fear of hurting her; the Voodoo Doll has no qualms against hurting Hilary!

Their only hope is to locate the Voodoo Doll's secret lair. Yet can the stuffed animals, rag dolls, marionettes, paper dolls, tin soldiers, glamor dolls, and even the smiling troll dolls find and destroy the Voodoo Doll's lair before her evil magic claims them all?
