INTO DARKNESS

Liz Braswell

Book 2 of the Stuffed series

No Stuffy has ever gone into the Darkness and returned....

Clark can't wait to go away to camp this year. For the first time ever, he has actual friends to hang out with. Catherine-Lucille and D.A. will both be at Camp I Can for the same two weeks Clark will be there and C.L. has already promised to induct him into her exclusive camp club—one that knows everything there is to know about the world of Monsters and how Stuffies protect kids from them. And now that he knows (or suspects? very strongly) that his grandma-made Stuffy, Foon, is a great hero who saved his own father from a horrible fate, Clark is obviously bringing Foon to camp along with him.

But once Clark gets to camp, he and his friends discover things are off. There are strange, gooey-findings in some of the bunks, the adults are acting weird and, worst of all, their Stuffies and dolls go missing right when they need them the most - when they go on the intercession camping trip and end up trapped in a creepy, old cabin. What Clark and his friends don't know, and what the mighty Foon soon discovers, is that the Monsters have launched a revenge campaign against Foon - a campaign that entails sucking the very life out of Clark. Now it's up to Foon to enter the Darkness and take on the Monster in charge in order to stop the plot and save Clark's life.

In the long tradition of Stuffies vs. Monsters, this one's a battle for the ages - one that will certainly go down in Stuffy history.

Sequel to STUFFED.

Comments

A dastardly plot of revenge against Foon slowly reveals itself as this second entry carries on building upon its predecessor in smart and satisfying ways. The character work is richer, the fantasy world is built out just a bit further, and Clark evolves just enough to make his character development feel earned. Readers who enjoyed Foon and his antics in STUFFED (2019) will find much to enjoy here, particularly those eager to bask in the trappings of high fantasy but not quite ready to jump into the deep end of the pool ...An entertaining second entry. -- Kirkus

Returning fans and newcomers alike will find themselves pulled into Braswell's magical world full of Light and Dark, Monsters and heroic Stuffies. The fast-paced chapters, full of spooky mystery, will give readers goosebumps as they turn pages long into the night - undoubtedly with their own Stuffies beside them to keep any Monsters away. -- Booklist
