Bookroo's summary

Ivy and Poppy visit their cousin Austin, whose father owns a bizarre collection from his circus days. Among the oddities is Gregory, a ventriloquist dummy that unnerves Austin. The sisters decide to prank him by moving the dummy around, but their plan backfires when Gregory starts moving on his own. As the dummy's antics escalate, the trio must confront their fears and unravel the mystery behind its eerie behavior. Can they stop Gregory before it's too late, or will they become his next victims?

From the publisher

You thought Slappy was scary? Wait until you meet the new dummy in town!Sisters Ivy and Poppy are looking forward to a weeklong stay with their cousin Austin. Austin’s dad, their Uncle Sass, ran a circus for many years and has an epic collection of weird, old stuff. Among the weirdest is a funny-looking ventriloquist dummy named Gregory. The puppet gives Austin the creeps, which gives the sisters a great idea: they’ll hide the dummy around the house to make Austin think it’s alive. But when the dummy takes on a mind of its own–all three kids are running scared!
