The Kingdom of Fluff and Claw

There are two ways into the Kingdom—by love or by blood.

This little pig? I choose…blood.

People thought we were the perfect family. 

And maybe we were, back then. Before Dad had to go away to get better. 

I wish I’d never learned that Dad sometimes couldn’t be trusted or that happiness could get sucked away so fast it feels like the bottom’s fallen out of the world.

But most of all I wish my little brother hadn’t been kidnapped by my murderous stuffed pig or toted off to a fantasy land where good toys go to retire, and bad toys make sacrifices to gain entrance to paradise.

Now, it’s up to me to save Finn, with the help of his creep-tastic doll and a blankie I’m pretty sure wants to eat my eyeballs. 

The Kingdom of Fluff and Claw isn’t a safe place for kids, but sometimes neither is the real world. I learned that the hard way. 

Safe or not, I can’t go back without Finn. 

I’m going to bring my little brother home and no toy, no matter how dangerous, is going to stop me.

The Kingdom of Fluff and Claw is a middle grade fantasy in the tradition of Labyrinth and The Wizard of Oz. It is appropriate for ages 8 and up.
