Bookroo's summary

Slappy, a malevolent ventriloquist's dummy, must cause chaos daily or risk eternal sleep. Created by the sorcerer Darkwell, Slappy's evil antics usually succeed—until he encounters the Carlton family. As each attempt at mischief backfires, panic sets in. Will this be the end of Slappy's reign of terror, or can he outsmart his new adversaries before sunset seals his fate forever?
