Kathrin Honesta.
When the Museum of Peculiar Arts closes, eleven-year-old boy Chance (a former volunteer) is given Penny, a lifelike, child-size marionette. In an accidental body switch, Chance becomes consciously trapped in the puppet, while Penny is free--and loving it. A creepy puppeteer, a traveling carnival, and Chance's come-to-the-rescue sister Constance feature in a complex and compelling plot with heart and a touch of horror.
