Description: "[An] audacious concept . . . [a] giddy thrill." -- Los Angeles Times "Those with an appetite for the bizarre will best appreciate the pseudonymous Davys's offbeat debut, set entirely in a town inhabited by living, breathing stuffed animals." -- Publishers Weekly "... the romantic triangle among Eric, Teddy and Emma is engagingly drawn, and never for a moment does the story feel like kids stuff. An appealingly unique world, cut from some interesting cloth." -- Kirkus Reviews "[A] delightful debut.... No character in Amberville is quite what he or she seems, and each offers a meditation on truth, power, the value of goodness, and the nature of evil." -- BookForum "When you're tired of run-of-the-mill fiction, it's time to read AMBERVILLE. These are stuffed animals like you've never seen: deep, dark, and, somehow, utterly believable. Lucky us--a mystery that's completely original." -- Brad Meltzer, bestselling author of THE BOOK OF LIES "A delightful mystery-thriller set in a city populated by stuffed animals. [It] is dastardly fun to read....Once the "whoa - this is weird" reaction subsides, 'Amberville' is a nifty rollick that's as bracing as a good shot of whisky." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Amberville has some bite to it. . . . True identities constantly shift in this world--lovers might be enemies, priests can be evil, and stuffed animals, given the depth and intellect that Davys gives them, may as well be human." -- Chicago Sun-Times
