Amy's Eyes is a book I remember reading over and over when I was younger. It's the story of a girl left at the door of an orphanage with only a sailor doll for company, and as she confides her life to that doll the doll comes to life..with a few consequences for Amy. It's magical storytelling without most of the traditional fantasy elements. There's also a bit of adventure, some sailing, and quite a lot of talking to dolls.
