They Threw Us Away (The Teddies Saga, #1)
Daniel Kraus
"Buddy wakes up in the middle of a garbage dump, filled with a certain awareness: he’s a teddy bear; he spent time at a Store waiting for his future to begin; and he is meant for the loving arms of a child. Now he knows one more thing: Something has gone terribly wrong. Soon he finds other discarded teddies—Horace, Sugar, Sunny, and Reginald. Though they aren’t sure how their luck soured, they all agree that they need to get back to the Store if they’re ever to fulfill their destinies. So, they embark on a perilous trek across the dump and into the outer world. With ravenous rats, screeching gulls, and a menacing world in front of them, the teddies will need to overcome insurmountable challenges to find their way home.

This was absolutely phenomenal!! The amount of crying I did over these Teddy Bears was insane! I also picked this up without knowing it was low-key classified as Horror and holy smokes did those elements take me by surprise. This is definitely best for older middle grade kids who have an understanding of death and if they enjoy horror it's a great one for them to check out because it does not disappoint. I am so invested in this storyline, I need to know why these teddies were thrown out, and who the man in the suit is. I have so many questions and I will be continuing with this series.

I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. Being semi-horror, it was out of my comfort zone. It was absolutely heart-wrenching. The characters were portrayed so vividly, each with their own personalities and attributes. It was easy to root for them and I can't wait to see where book 2 goes with the story. :)
