Theo and the Festival of Shadows - Sword Bear Chronicles Michael La Ronn

Publisher Marketing: A teddy bear with a hero complex. A nightmare world filled evil toys. A race until midnight---or death. Theodorus Ursabrand's sole purpose as a teddy bear is to protect his owner, Grant. But when Stratus, a spirit of smoke and fog, kidnaps Grant, Theo must travel to the Stratusphere, a nightmare world filled with abandoned toys where nothing is what it seems. Just when all is lost, he meets a traveling caravan of wandering toys who have gathered for a festival. Among them is Lucinda, another teddy bear with magical powers who agrees to help Theo sneak into Stratus's castle to save Grant. But there's a catch: first Theo must engage a group of evil toys who have stolen the festival's key attractions. The quest sounds easy enough, but Theo quickly finds himself fighting for his life against formidable and unpredictable foes. Worst of all, if Theo doesn't rescue Grant by sunrise, they will both be trapped in the Stratusphere forever.

"Part of the fun of it is that you can read it over and over," "I don't want to give away too much, but [there's] a board game in the middle of a book--a board game that can actually be played by the reader--is impressive and a little mind blowing."
