They Threw Us Away
ByPublisher Description
"Truly captivating." —The New York Times
"A deliciously macabre fairy tale, full of snuggles.” —Holly Black, award-winning author of Doll Bones and co-creator of The Spiderwick Chronicles
Welcome to The Teddies Saga, a gripping new middle grade trilogy from New York Times-bestselling author Daniel Kraus and illustrator Rovina Cai.
Buddy wakes up in the middle of a garbage dump, filled with a certain awareness: he’s a teddy bear; he spent time at a Store waiting for his future to begin; 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. Though they aren’t sure how their luck soured, 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 the outer world. With ravenous rats, screeching gulls, and a menacing world in front of them, the teddies will need to overcome insurmountable challenges to find their way home.
Equal parts Toy Story and Lord of the Flies, They Threw Us Away is the unforgettable start of a captivating series.

“This was not what I was expecting from a middle grade novel. I loved how it delved into humanity and the ways in which we are unkind. I loved that Daniel Kraus took a look into the ways our environment plays a role in our behaviors. This book also pointed out how we are destroying our planet which I think is great insight for children to start thinking about becoming environmental activists. It was so fun to read and I am thinking of continuing the series.
If you are wanting your kids to read this, I think it is a great book, but if you would prefer them not to read something so dark, I would probably recommend a lighter book.”Abi
