Fun scary read for kids. Probably would have scared the crap out of me when a second grader but my library second graders love these books! So how do I rate it? For kids? How well written? Three stars from me, Four to four and a half for the kids.

I think that it was apritty good book. It was also prity creppy. It is a bout a boy and his dad going on this trip together and they bit off more trouble than they could chow. They indup making frinds and killing friends along the way.

A very short story about a young boy and his distant father who works at a studio where a puppet is either alive or brought to life through the crazy puppet master. One never really knows. It was an alright book. Quick, easy read. Nothing special

Good creepy story for the 6th grade and below crowd.
