Everyone thinks that Clark is too old to still play with stuffed animals. He''s almost eleven! Bullies target him at school while his mother tries increasingly un-subtle ways to wean him off his toys and introduce more "normal" interests. But Clark can''t shake the feeling that his stuffed friends are important, even necessary. Sometimes they move around in the night and sometimes in the morning they look a little worse for wear, as if they''ve engaged in battle. And it turns out . . . he''s right. Clark''s dad is under attack by a nefarious, shadowy monster called a King Derker, and only Clark''s stuffies are able to fight him off. The problem is, no one believes Clark, and when his mom tries to rid the house of stuffed animals to try to get him to grow up, she''s actually putting Clark''s dad and the entire household in mortal peril. Now it''s up to Clark''s grandma-made sock animal, Foon, to save the day. Luckily, being handmade by a loved one gives Foon extra battle points, but he''s still a brand-new stuffy. Does he have what it takes to rid Clark''s house of all its monsters? Told through both Clark''s and Foon''s points of view, Stuffed confirms every kid''s dream: that stuffed animals do have a life and a purpose, and that sometimes the most unconventional friendships are also the most valuable.
