The obnoxious dummy, Slappy, is back again- this time to torment Amy by saying nasty things and destroying her sister, Sara,'s room. No one believes Amy when she says Slappy's doing it, until Sara catches him. The two of them cook up a plan to stop him and prove Amy innocent, and it works.

Goosebumps. This is the series that kept me reading through my childhood. More than any other series, Goosebumps kept me interested in reading, and R.L. Stein is a wonderful children's writer. I applaud his efforts, and can't express enough my gratitude for the series.

Were there really that many middle-schoolers in the 90s who wanted to be ventriloquists? I don't remember any. Yes, a dummy come to life is creepy, but the premise is too odd and the story too similar to the first one to have made a sequel (and more).
