What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Repino pits an indomitable squad of teddy bears…against a child-stealing monster…the climactic battle, when it finally arrives, becomes a breathless, close-run thing replete with rousing exploits and tests of courage.”—Booklist

“A secret world of sentient toys comes to life in this gently creepy, Toy Story–tinged adventure.…With its exploration of themes such as family, loyalty, bravery, and the power of imagination, this story is both entertaining and uplifting.”Publishers Weekly

“A thrilling adventure.”—Kirkus Reviews

“I liked this book because it had an engaging storyline. It was just the right amount of suspenseful without being too scary. The story was exciting to follow, so I could read it quickly. I would recommend this book to other people because it was fun and easy to read.”—Shreya, age 9, reviewer for Kids’ Book Buzz

“Two thumbs up…a must read if you are a stuffed animal lover.”—Neatorama

“Grab a flashlight and burrow under the covers! Spark and the League of Ursus is the perfect bedtime adventure, with a fierce, fluffy hero you’ll want by your side when the lights go out.”—Kirsten Miller, New York Times bestselling co-author of Nightmares!

“A heroic teddy bear, an Amazon Princess doll, and a fellowship of stuffed animals must save their beloved children from some truly scary monsters. I loved the imaginative world building and likable characters (toy and human alike) of this fast-paced tale. A blast from start to finish!”—J.A. White, award-winning author of Nightbooks and the Thickety

Spark and the League of Ursus will fire the imagination and spur the adventures of any kid with a teddy bear. Also, any adult with a teddy bear.”—J. W. Ocker, Edgar Award-winning author of Death and Douglas

“Enchanting, zippy-paced, and just scary enough to make me want to dig deeper under the covers in the dark of night (and pull my old teddy bear out of the closet), I dearly adored Spark and her human.”—Natalie Lloyd, New York Times bestselling author of A Snicker of Magic
