But that wasn\u2019t likely, for Gretel was a collector\u2019s item: \u201cAn original Von Schwangau! In perfect condition!\u201d No child would be able to afford her. But Gretel fell in love anyway, with that girl who paused by window to stare at her with longing eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day another doll joined the window display: Little Red Riding Hood (Red for short), a lively, imaginative figurine (slightly damaged, not worth quite as much) who shares Gretel\u2019s longing for a home. Gretel has to get used to having a friend, for \u201cif you were alone, you could believe you were right all the time. [With] a friend, you learned you weren\u2019t.\u201d The girl on the other side of the glass could also use a friend, having recently moved from Philadelphia to this seaside town. Tiph (short for Tiphany) lost her mother while very young, and though her stepmother Holly is nice, Tiph often resents having to babysit her 3-year-old half-brother Phillip and baby Rain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While walking Phillip in his stroller one gloomy November, Tiph comes to the aid of an elderly lady by chasing down her runaway dog. The lady is sharp at first, possibly because she left the hospital too soon after surgery, but the two soon warm to each other. One reason might be that Ms. R\u00f3zsahegyi also loves dolls\u2014and even owns a doll house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She offers Tiph a job walking the dog for $25 per week\u2014and at that rate, Tiph might just be able to afford Gretel after a few months. But when she and her new friend, whom she calls Neni (Aunt) Szilvia, visit Mr. DiLucca\u2019s shop, temptation is too strong. Tiph pockets the doll, setting in motion a chain of circumstances that will create guilt, adventure, change, conflict, and eventually forgiveness and reconciliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The setting is small and domestic but the characters (human, doll, and animal) comprise a little universe of loss, longing, and resolution. The only mention of church is about someone not going, and yet universal Christian themes (intentional or not) come through, such as: \u201cYour debt\u2019s been paid. Think it over. And stop stealing.\u201d Characters are allowed to be themselves, flawed but well-meaning, and what has been pulled apart comes together in the way the best stories resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Considerations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Language:<\/strong> A few misuses of God&#8217;s name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> A touching and sympathetic portrait of a girl taking a big step toward growing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-reading-from-redeemed-reader\">Related Reading From Redeemed Reader <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reviews:<\/strong> We&#8217;ve reviewed several of Schmitz&#8217;s books: <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/picture-books-about-the-middle-ages-for-middle-school\/\">Good Masters!
