Buddy wakes up in a garbage dump, filled with a certain awareness: he' s a teddy bear, he spent time at a Store, and he is meant for the loving arms of a child. Now he knows one more thing: Something has gone terribly wrong. Soon he finds other discarded teddies-Horace, Sugar, Sunny, and Reginald. They all agree that they need to get back to the Store if they' re ever to fulfill their destinies. So they embark on a perilous trek across the dump and into a world filled with seemingly insurmountable challenges. Can they find their way home? Welcome to the the Teddies Saga, a wildly original middle-grade trilogy from New York Times-bestselling author Daniel Kraus. Equal parts Toy Story and Lord of the Flies, They Threw Us Away is the unforgettable start of a captivating new series.
Reminiscent of Watership Down. . . reflective children will revel in this thought-provoking world. --Kirkus, Starred Review By 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 Weekly With a nod to Watership Down. . . [r]eaders with a taste for disturbing adventures and disquieting revelations will be well served. --Booklist Fans 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. --The Bulletin of the Center for Children' s Books
