Why is everybody so afraid of Jessie’s new doll, Frankenflopper? Is it because she’s ten times bigger than any kid on the block? Or is it because her creepy yellow eyes seem to follow you wherever you go? Master storyteller Judith Gorog brings us the story of a little girl and her not-so-ordinary doll—along with four other creepy tales—in her second collection of bizzare, icky, and scary-funny stories that are guaranteed to give chapter book readers goosebumps and giggles galore.
