[LM_NET] BOOK: The puppet wrangler by Grant

[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@YAHOO.COM>]

Grant, Vicki. The puppet wrangler. Orca, 2004 [1-55143-304-4]
  Telly's sister is always getting in trouble so their parents decide to send Telly 
to spend the summer with her Aunt who is the producer for a children's puppet show. 
 After being accidentally locked in the studio one night Telly discovers that on 
the puppets is actually alive.  She takes the puppet to the Mall and eventually on 
a wild adventure.  The puppet is wild, mad and unpredictable but not evil as the 
puppet in Magrs' "The good, the bat, and the ugly."   This 212 page book is a riot! 
 I actually laughed out loud several times while I was reading it.  Grant uses cute 
footnotes in the book to clarify things which at times I found a little irritating, 
but overall, I absolutely loved this book!  When the book was all over, I wondered 
a little whether the puppet was really alive or it was all in Telly's imagination.
