Bookroo's summary

Shelby Tate's new home at Cinder Creek harbors eerie secrets. Haunted by voices and moving objects, the most unsettling feature is a doll-sized graveyard. These dolls, with their shifting faces and hidden pasts, refuse to stay buried. Shelby must uncover their stories and bring them peace, or risk facing their vengeful wrath. Can she unravel the mystery before it's too late, or will the dolls' dark history consume her family?

From the publisher

This graveyard hides buried dolls…and buried secrets! The house at Cinder Creek hides many secrets. Shelby and Brian Tate have heard heated voices crying out in the night. They’ve noticed the unsettling way things move around on their own. But the most chilling thing about their new home is the cemetery someone’s built out back. The graves are tiny, only big enough for dolls. AND THE DOLLS WON’T STAY BURIED. Soon Shelby’s learning all about them. Betsy Anne’s angelic appearance hides a raging fire behind her eyes, while Baby Daisy changes faces as quickly as she changes moods. And Miss Amelia’s cracked porcelain skin and twisted lips only hint at the pain she once endured at the hands of a very angry girl. If Shelby can help the dolls find peace, she and her family might actually be happy at Cinder Creek. But if she can’t–the dolls will have their revenge….
