Explanation To Books The Adventures of Holly Hobbie

Not a trace is found of celebrated arcaeologist Melville Dutton, who mysteriously vanished in the trackless jungles of Central America. His quest--the greatest of Maya ruins--the lost Jaguar City. Hope for the survival of the charismatic explorer is eventually abandoned. Only his daughter, Liz, tormented by a recurring nightmare, steadfastly believes that her father is alive.

On a snowy Thanksgiving in her grandparents' New England farmhouse, Liz is entranced by a portrait of her ancestor--a breathtakingly beautiful teen-age girl. The haunting picture, painted in 1803, seems to glow with an indefinable magic. Flames dance wildly in the old stone fireplace... heatwaves shimmer... definition is obscurred... then---Holly Hobbie. Is this intelligent, graceful young girl in colonial dress another of Liz's dreams? Or the portrait come to life?

The author takes us along with Holly and Liz on a fascinating odyssey triggered by scattered clues--the snarling jaguar pendant, Dutton's last jungle diaries, cryptic Maya inscriptions--all crucial in linking their destiny with that of Mel Dutton.

Critique Epithetical Books The Adventures of Holly Hobbie

The Adventures of Holly Hobbie was based on the character called of "Holly Hobbie", a bonnet and rag-dress wearing girl named after her creator. In this story the Dutton family is in mourning after the disappearance and believed death of Melville Dutton, an archaeologist working to find a lost ancient city in Guatemala. His daughter Liz is still unconvinced that her father is dead and one night the ghost of another girl, Holly Hobbie, an ancestor living in a painting at her family's farm appears

When I first came across The Adventures of Holly Hobbie, I was reluctant to read it. I was expecting it to be about the American Greetings dolls by the same name, which wasn't really appealing to me. It turned out to be a thrilling mystery novel with fantasy elements and an intriguing historical context, which I wasn't expecting. Dubelman's book is about the "Holly Hobbie" character, but it frames the character in a story that readers of all ages can enjoy.The book is difficult to follow at

This book is not at all what you'd expect. I read this as a kid, and it has stuck in my psyche ever since. It has nothing to do with the doll. This book is actually a well-written and fast-paced YA mystery story, with Holly as one of the characters. I'd recommend it to any girl who has an interest in mysteries, archaeology, or family history--it's a combination of all three!

Loved this as a young teen! Part time-travel, part Indiana Jones, part friendship story, part mystery. This book really captivated me. I loved learning about the Mayan culture, and I especially love Holly Hobbie!

Remember this being read to me years ago as a child by my mother, read it to myself a year later.

I was fascinated by this book as a child, but I was too scared to read it as it dealt with "the occult" (or at least that's what the inside front cover claimed). Now it's out of print and I will never know if it's actually connected with the doll Holly Hobbie or whether the name was just an unfortunate coincidence.
