When Carole moves to a new home in New Mexico, she discovers a life-size doll that looks exactly like her, and the doll asks Carole to help her. By the author of Honey Girl. This description may be from another edition of this product.
ISBN 0380765691 - This is a nice quick read for an adult, and if you've got a child who has nightmares easily, I suggest you quickly read it before turning it over to him or her. It's not particularly scary, but easily scared kids will disagree with me! As far as Carole's concerned, nothing is as it should be - they are far from their "real" home, the one they'd shared with her father before the divorce, and they are moving in with Uncle Jake, but Uncle Jake is missing. From the moment they arrive, Carole finds the house a little spooky. The house has nothing on Perky Patty. Perky Patty is a lifesized doll that resembles the daughter Jake lost years ago, the daughter who grew up with Carole's mother and after whom Carole was named. She also bears a striking and disturbing resemblance to Carole! Perky Patty begins to walk and talk on her own but will only talk to Carole. Is this real? Or is it Carole's mis-placed sorrow over her parents' divorce and the loss of her lifelong home? And what, if anything, does the doll have to do with Uncle Jake being missing? - AnnaLovesBooks
Meet the girl on the cover

Hello all. I just wanted to let the reader know that I am the girl on the cover of this book. When I was younger I usually chose a book by its cover...now that I'm older I realize that it is not its cover that should intrest you but possibly the short excerpt on the back cover that should grab your attention and make you want to read it. Now basically what I'm saying is that even though I'm on the cover that did not initially want to make me read the book it was what was on the back cover that had interested me so much to do so. The book was very enjoyable and easy to follow I would reccommend it to any child to read...and not just because I want to show myself off.
