Can this eerie doll mend their friendship, or will it lead to unforeseen consequences? As Emmy grapples with the doll's influence, she must decide if the price of control is worth the risk of losing herself and Lizzy forever. Dive into this chilling tale where friendship and power collide, leaving you questioning who truly holds the strings.

From the publisher

Emmy’s new doll has strange powers over her best friend in this entrancing addition to the You’re Invited to a Creepover series. Emmy Spencer and Lizzy Draper have been best friends since birth, but now that they’re in seventh grade, they’ve begun to drift apart. Lizzy–insistent on being called Liz now–has a new group of friends, and she has gone out of her way to exclude Emmy from them. It’s almost as if Lizzy doesn’t want Emmy hanging out with her anymore. But then Emmy comes into possession of a doll that can change all that–a doll that will put Emmy in control of Lizzy’s every move. Can she use the doll to save their friendship, or will it end up controlling them both? This spooky tale is a level 3 on the Creep-o-Meter.
