There are two ways into the Kingdomâby love or by blood.
This little pig? I chooseâĻblood.
People thought we were the perfect family.Â
And maybe we were, back then. Before Dad had to go away to get better.Â
I wish Iâd never learned that Dad sometimes couldnât be trusted or that happiness could get sucked away so fast it feels like the bottomâs fallen out of the world.
But most of all I wish my little brother hadnât 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, itâs up to me to save Finn, with the help of his creep-tastic doll and a blankie Iâm pretty sure wants to eat my eyeballs.Â
The Kingdom of Fluff and Claw isnât a safe place for kids, but sometimes neither is the real world. I learned that the hard way.Â
Safe or not, I canât go back without Finn.Â
Iâm 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.  Â
