Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
From kid horror master K.R. Alexander, the story of a virtual friend that puts the fright into stage fright .
Naomi is petrified of the talent show her school is putting on. She can't be out there alone in front of all those people... not without serious stage fright. How will she manage?
The answer arrives in a mysterious box -- a ventriloquist's dummy that transforms Naomi from a shy girl into a natural performer. It all goes well... until Naomi starts to want the stage for herself. When the dummy strikes back it raises the question -- who's controlling who?
Nomi is afraid of dolls. But even she gives into pressure and winds up with an Emmy doll, which has enough artificial intelligence to help you with your homework, communicate with your friends, and organize your life. Nomi's friend Jenna promises that having an Emmy will make her life easier...and will also make her less of an outsider. At first, this works. Nomi's doll is a good listener and a big help. But then the doll starts getting ideas of her own. Bad ideas. Evil ideas. And Nomi realizes : there's no way to turn her off.
