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 thrilling adventure. --Kirkus Reviews Two thumbs up...a must read if you are a stuffed animal lover. --Neatorama Beautiful and a bit emotional...A fantastic read for all ages. --Fangirlish 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 If Toy Story had teeth, you'd have Spark and the League of Ursus. A thrilling and heartwarming tale that will make you look twice under your bed and never take your teddy bear for granted again. --Tania del Rio, author of the Warren the 13th series 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
