"Truly captivating." --The New York Times

Chronicles
Welcome to The Teddies Saga, a gripping new middle grade trilogy from
New York Times-bestselling author Daniel Kraus and illustrator Rovina
Cai.
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.
Equal parts Toy Story and Lord of the Flies, They Threw Us Away is
the unforgettable start of a captivating series.
