In this spinoff to the New York Times–bestselling Goosebumps series, a tween goes to an amusement park and brings home an enchanted mannequin.

Ray Gordon loves to scare his younger brother, Brandon. It’s not hard considering Brandon is terrified of everything—loud noises, roller coasters, and especially the wooden dummy, Slappy, that Ray got from the HorrorLand theme park gift shop. Then Ray’s parents warn him that he will not be able to throw his big New Year’s Eve if he doesn’t stop teasing Brandon. But strange, mean-spirited things keep happening to his little brother, and Slappy always seems to be around for it. Could that spell Ray read out loud actually have brought the dummy to life?
