This book was pretty good in my opinion. I give it 4 stars because it was a book that was not the scariest but it was something. The book is about a little girl who is interested in being a ventriloquist and her father gives her a new dummy. But the dummy has a special card inside his sleeve that if you say he will come to life. And the girl said the magic words and he comes to life and destroy the house while he is trying to be part of the family.
I enjoyed this book even more than part 1. Slappy the dummy acts really creepy and his owner gets blamed for the messes he made and no one believes her
