Holly Black, awardwinning author of Doll Bones and cocreator of The Spiderwick ChroniclesReminiscent of Watership Down...reflective children will revel in this thoughtprovoking world. Kirkus Reviews, Starred ReviewBy turns swashbuckling and reflective, touching and disturbing, this existential work of fantasy and horror considers what one is willing to sacrifice when utterly lost. Publishers WeeklyWith a nod to Watership Down...[r]eaders with a taste for disturbing adventures and disquieting revelations will be well served. BooklistFans of Toy Story or The Velveteen Rabbit might be aghast, but readers who knew there was always something a little off about their playthings will appreciate this uniquely horrific take.
