A hilarious novel that pays homage to Roald Dahl - perfect for twisted children of all ages.
Frank Lurcher and Tolstoy the Long-Eared Bat! Twenty years ago they were the biggest names in ventriloquism, stars of stage and screen. But now Frank's a washed-out, grumpy has-been and his scraggy puppet Tolstoy is stuffed away in the loft.
When Frank decides his son, Jason, must follow in the family tradition and get a puppet of his own, someone's got a shrewd idea who that puppet should be. Someone with green eyes, moth-eaten velvety wings, a snarling snout and two extra-large ears . . .
Soon it's a case of the good, the bat and the ugly as Tolstoy takes another shot at TV super stardom, and plans a gruesome revenge on his showbiz enemies. Can Jason fight his evil controlling power? And if you cook a puppet ostrich in a microwave, does it count as murder?
