{"product_id":"ship-of-dolls-the-friendship-dolls","title":"Ship of Dolls (The Friendship Dolls)","description":"“Tender and funny, this story of friendship and family is reminiscent of Beverly Cleary’s work.” — School Library Journal\n\nIt’s 1926, and eleven-year-old Lexie Lewis wants to leave Portland, Oregon, where she has been staying with her strict grandparents, and rejoin her mother, a singer in San Francisco. Meanwhile, Lexie’s class has been raising money to ship a doll to the children of Japan in a friendship exchange — and when Lexie learns that the girl who writes the best letter will be chosen to go to the farewell ceremony in San Francisco, she knows she just has to be the winner. Inspired by a project in which U.S. children sent more than 12,000 Friendship Dolls to Japan in hopes of avoiding a future war, Shirley Parenteau’s engaging story has sure appeal for readers who enjoy historical fiction and for doll lovers of all ages.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0763697796\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0763697796.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Parenteau, Shirley\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
