The book was totally horrible. Before reading this book, I used to think goosebumps series were terrific not until I read this one. The book simply enunciated how a ventriloquist dummy with the help of a jealous sister, ruined an innocent kid life. Reputation was tarnished it probably had mental and psychological effect on him.While I was waiting for closure and justice at the end like it should be, it only opened portal for more misery. I had to stop reading goosebumps series after reading this book because I needed time to process. My advise to kids out there is to NOT READ THIE BOOK. It typically tells you that you could ruin a person life and get away with it. Trust me, you'll thank me later
