Bridgit Time to update -
13. by George - Wesley Stace

This is a book about a family of ventriloquists, a boy named George, and a dummy named George. The story is alternately narrated by both Georges.

This was the monthly choice for the book club I am in. I really liked this book, particularly the sections from the point of view of the dummy. The author did a great job personifying "George" and letting the reader imagine what it would be like if the ventriloquist's dummy could actually speak on their own. I rate this book about 3.5/5 stars.

Other books:
14. A Peculiar Grace - Jeffrey Lent
15. A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
16. A Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
