Bookroo's summary

Lindy finds a ventriloquist's dummy named Slappy, and her sister Kris grows envious of the attention Lindy receives. Determined to compete, Kris gets her own dummy. But when strange, malevolent incidents occur, the sisters question if the dummies are more than just toys. Could Slappy be alive, orchestrating chaos? Dive into this chilling tale where the line between play and peril blurs, and discover the secrets lurking within the wooden face of fear.
