Praise from Spark and the League of Ursus
“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
“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
