Just the cover gives me the creeps. I've never been fond of ventriloquist dummies and I think this is why! *horrified shivers*

iā€™m giving this a 3/5, because it took such a long time for anything to happen and when it did it definitely was creepy but it was pretty much at the end of the book. it was a fun set up, but the bickering twins were horrible, and i honestly thought slappy was meant to be the ~bad guy! ā£
ā£
it reminded me of monster blood in a way, in that most of the book seemed to be about kids arguing and conflict and nothing actually eerie happening.ā£
ā£
we listened to this on another brisbane trip, nova (6) is obsessed with listening to goosebumps books but wanted me to turn it off when it started getting creepy šŸ¤” i did not turn it off - kid needed closure!  ā£

Interesting book. However in previous books, Slappy was known to be an antique and rare dummy, however in this book there just so happens to be another one almost exactly the same, seems a little to well placed. However, the book is getting a 3/5 because Slappy hurt a dog.
