Fancy Nancy: Fanciest Doll in the Universe

Jane O'Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser, the dynamic duo, have created another Fancy Nancy. The heroine of this book, Marabelle the doll, has been tattooed with an indelible marker by Nancy's pirate-loving sister, Jo-Jo. Nancy complains of having a younger sister (who is a "handful") and is so upset that her precious doll has a tattoo that her mom promises to take her to an Historical Doll (clearly a reference to American Girl Dolls) gala. Nancy begins to cheer up, but her doll gets mixed up with another. Thank goodness she can identify Marabelle due to the tattoo. Nancy's mom helps her to realize that Jo-Jo will grow up some day and that it is important to forgive.
