Publisher: Villard Page Count: 128 Fiction Genre: Graphic Novel, Comic, Art, Fantasy, Horror, Adventure Dates Read: June 16, 2015 Summary Boy is snatched from his room in the middle of the night. The Boogeyman is to blame. He has a plan and he needs the boy. Boy's toys and puppy were unable to stop him. Max, Boy's favorite stuffed bear put up a tough fight. But now is the time for Boy's faithful toys and puppy to march through the closet and into the Land of Dark to save him. Review Creepy. Brilliant. Beautiful. These are the best words to describe this book. I used to be afraid of the boogeyman when I was a child. I was afraid that one night he would come out of my closet and take me away. To see my childhood fears put into a book like this is almost too real, and is a perfect balance of creepy and awesome. The plot of this story is fairly original. Think of it like a dark and demented version of Toy Story, except of the toys battling against Sid, they're battling the Boogeyman and his minions. To round out this amazing story, is extraordinary illustrations. The graphics are wonderful. the illustrators have created two distinct styles, one, as the toys are toys inside of Boy's room, and the other, when they transform into real people and animals after entering the Land of Dark. This was very well executed and created.
