Synopsis

Welcome, little one. You have been chosen to join us, in the dark and in the light, in love and in cloth, in safety and in danger. You join us. Everyone thinks that Clark is too old to still play with stuffed animals. He's almost eleven! Bullies target him at school while his mother tries increasingly un-subtle ways to wean him off his toys and introduce more "normal" interests. But Clark can't shake the feeling that his stuffed friends are important, even necessary. Sometimes they move around in the night and sometimes in the morning they look a little worse for wear, as if they've engaged in battle. And it turns out . . . he's right. Clark's dad is under attack by a nefarious, shadowy monster called a King Derker, and only Clark's stuffies are able to fight him off. The problem is, no one believes Clark, and when his mom tries to rid the house of stuffed animals to try to get him to grow up, she's actually putting Clark's dad and the entire household in mortal peril. Now it's up to Clark's grandma-made sock animal, Foon, to save the day. Luckily, being handmade by a loved one gives Foon extra battle points, but he's still a brand-new stuffy. Does he have what it takes to rid Clark's house of all its monsters? Told through both Clark's and Foon's points of view, Stuffed confirms every kid's dream: that stuffed animals do have a life and a purpose, and that sometimes the most unconventional friendships are also the most valuable.

It's not that much of a surprise that this book spoke to me when I saw it. Confront me with a cute stuffed animal and if it's reasonably priced it's most likely coming home with me. I have an entire collection next to my bed and an even bigger one in a box in the basement. (Yes, a decent plastic see......more

Goodreads review by Adam

Not sure how I came to find this title, but I'm glad I did! When you are growing up, you believe that there are monsters in the world (and there are) and thus you have things to comfort and protect you, usually stuffed animals. These "stuffies" are the main line of defense against the things that go......more
