I would also recommend this book to people who like other R.L.Robert Lawrence Stine known as R. I would recommend this book to other people who like ventriloquism. I enjoyed this book because I actually wanted a dummy in real life and was upset that Kris found one and found a job in ventriloquism. My favorite character is the dummy because it comes to life and I know that cannot happen in real life. When Kris finds the dummy in the trashcan, she gets scared beacuse she thinks it is a real person. It is a fun book, plus it is entertaining.

I like this book because I like ventriloquism (and the dummy in this book talks). So she grabbed a stick and hit Slappy with it before he could attack Kris. Slappy rushed upstairs but Lindy could not catch him. When she got downstairs, she saw Slappy moving all by himself. That night, Lindy heard something downstairs and went to check it out. They talked about how Kris found the dummy and she said she named it Slappy. When she got home, Kris went to show Lindy. It was a dummy! Kris decided to take it home. On the walk she found a trashcan with something inside it. One day, Kris Powell took a walk with her dog. Have you ever read a book in the Goosebumps series?
