When I was a kid I read a novel about a cursed/evil female doll, the cover was a blueprint design of the doll and from my memory most of the book was about other alive (not cursed) toys dealing with the doll in the kids bedroom/playroom, does anyone have any ideas? I asked ChatGPT but it kept thinking it was Goosebumps when I think the book was standalone

Hi all -
I'm looking for a book my daughter wants to re-read but of course can't remember the name of. The details she gave me were: SciFi Young Adult Terraforming They enslaved an alien (or aliens? my daughter didn't specify) to do, or help with, the terraforming The alien characters name was something like Chrome or Chrone Anyone have any idea what this book may be named? Thanks in advance! |

Also check out Children of Time (Adrian Tchaikovsky). I don't think either was specifically marketed as YA; The Terraformers is probably closer to crossover than the Tchaikovsky. |

Total wildcard guess involving hypothesising significant memory-warping (which wouldn't be surprising over ten years): Terry Pratchett's "Strata" has an alien called Silver.

I sent her the Fantastic Fiction webpage on that book. She sad that wasn't the book she was thinking about, but now she wants to read "Strata". So thanks for bringing that one up!
