Nancy is devastated when her younger sister gives her doll, Marabelle, a "tattoo" with permanent marker. To lift Nancy's spirits, her mom takes her and Marabelle to the "History Doll Gala," where the tattoo comes in handy. This entry in the Fancy Nancy franchise is strong: the plotting is nimble, and beneath the glitter and curlicues are glimpses of realistic girls.

ALA Booklist

This umpteenth installment in the chart-topping series stars, once again, a little girl reminiscent of Eloise of the Plaza in her over-the-top tastes. Nancy, however, lives in a pretty normal-seeming home, which is often thrown into chaos by her unchecked ambitions. This time, Nancy's troublemaking little sister has desecrated Nancy's favorite doll (who looks like Marie Antoinette) by drawing a pirate skull on the doll's torso d in permanent marker! Nancy's mother consoles Nancy by taking her and her doll to a local hotel's History Doll Gala. Here Glasser's work will paralyze readers' addiction to princesslike adornments: the gala party is downright overwhelming in its ruffles and glitz. Add dressed-up dolls and doll owners, a doll carousel, and sumptuous-looking tea cakes, and, well, it's a pink-colored nirvana. Happy endings come as expected, making this sibling-conflict entry into the series as reliably enjoyable as the others.

Fancy Nancy's sister, JoJo, can really be a pest sometimes . . . like when she put Easter-egg dye in the kiddie pool and dunked Frenchy in it! But this time she's done something really bad, and Nancy is livid—that's fancy for tres angry and upset. JoJo drew a tattoo on Nancy's precious doll, Marabelle Lavinia Chandelier! Even worse, it's in permanent marker. That means it will never come out! When Mom suggests a fancy doll party to make Nancy feel better, Nancy is excited to accept.

But what if the doll drama isn't over?
