By George




What do you do when you discover that there’s someone else out there with the same name as you? In this charming story about two Georges, you will find out. First there is George, a ventriloquist dummy and than there is George an eleven-year old boy. This story is really told and narrated by George, the puppet as told by his memoirs that he experienced as a dummy and all the travels and people he meets along the way.

I thought it was refreshing as well as unique to see everything through a ventriloquist dummy’s point of view. The situations George, the dummy had to deal with were pretty amusing. As much as I liked gaining a different prospective I did have some trouble staying focused all the way through this book. There were some dry spots. Even with this being a factor I would still read another book by Mr. Stace. I definitely thought that Mr. Stace brought a lot of creativity to By George.

Again I want to give a big thank you to Hachette Book Group for allowing me to give away 5 copies of this book to readers. I will pick the winners October 11th

This book makes me think of Edgar Bergen. I have always been afraid of ventriloquist's dummies!!!!! Maybe, this book could change my mind. Thanks for a wonderful review. Cindi
