Tween Reads Book Club: They Threw Us Away
Saturday, September 16, 2023
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
If you’re a fan of R.L. Stine, you’ll love They Threw Us Away: The Teddies Saga by Daniel Kraus and illustrated by Rovina Cai.
Summary:
"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."
Ages 8–12. Please register, then pick up your book club copy (yours to keep!) at the Downtown Library children's information desk after registering.
