No Name Given: Invoked in the story itself that Vicky never gives the dolls names so they do it themselves.That person putting their hand inside the dollhouse returns them to the real world. Magic A Is Magic A: While there is no explanation as to how the doll's have the dollhouse in their attic taking a doll out of the dollhouse brings the actual person into their dollhouse.Living Toys: The dolls themselves are alive and out for revenge.Hoist by His Own Petard: The dolls get tired of the way Vicky plays with them but luckily for them they have a dollhouse of Vicky's own house in their attic that they take revenge by messing with her life. The antique dollhouse Vickys parents buy for her tenth birthday-instead of the hoped-for ten-speed bike-distresses her even more when she finds herself inside it, the prisoner and intended slave of the contentious doll family whose nasty dispositions she herself has programmed in her unhappy play sessions.Creepy Doll: All the dolls except Dandaroo are this to Vicky.She finds it rather drab and miserable until one day she finds herself inside the actual dollhouse and the dolls want their turn to play. Unfortunately for her what she gets instead is an antique dollhouse. Vicky's birthday is coming up and she has overly hinted to her parents that what she really wants is a bike. Among the Dolls is a short book by William Sleator published in 1975.
