Anabella found her anties journal. Which was filled with spider facts. Anabella reads that her aunt was looking for a special spider and that it lived in the dark, and cold. Her anut went missing a couple years ago and the family couldn't find her. When her new friend arrived Anabella showed her the journal and then that went off to look for her aunt. When the were looking they were caught by a huiman moving well at least Anabella was so she was but in doll state for 24 hours. Once she was released they continued look till the reached the actic and then they had to get permission from Anabellas mom to go look. When they reached the the actic they looked and then Anabella spoted some doll clothing and thought she must be up here. They continued looking looking till they came upon a sipder wab and spotted her aunt. They got her untangled and then they had to wait till it was night time till they could go back downstairs. So Anabella took the time to get to know her aunt more. That night they head back and when they made back home Anabella's friend went to her family who was owned by Kate's little sister Noah. And Anabella and her aunt went back to their home. I recomend actual reading the stroy and them reading the sequel (the meanest doll in the world. I like it better!!
