About this listen

When nine-year-old Amelia is kidnapped from her home, a desperate act of magic breathes life into her best friend: a stuffed bear named Floyd. Confused but driven by an unshakable sense of purpose, Floyd sets out on a darkly comedic quest to rescue her – despite having no idea who she is.

As he blazes a bloody trail of carnage through anyone foolish enough to stand in his way, Floyd struggles to understand his newfound existence and the strange, violent world he’s been thrust into. The only thing he knows for sure? He was born to save Amelia – no matter the cost.

Floyd is a tale of absurdity and heart, where magic, chaos and the unlikeliest of heroes collide in a brutal yet strangely endearing adventure.

This is quite an entertaining, amusing story which feels like it could have hit a bit harder. The first part is from the little girl's perspective just being a kid. The story quickly moves into Amelia trying to outwit would be child snatchers. Thereafter enters shady characters, artifact hunters, a leathersmith, a wizard, the bear and his chicken, and lots of violence.

The characters are interesting for sure. But as a first time reader of this author, I was left with a lot of unanswered questions because the book is written in a way where there are numerous side stories and you only get a glimpse into those characters. There are other books in this World which I'm sure would fill in the gaps. But unless I missed it, the book never answers the question as to what exactly the kidnappers wanted from Amelia's father, who was The Collector...really, and how did the wizard come to being. The ending was wrapped up far too neatly for my liking in a HEA. But I did chuckle at the trick the author played on readers at the end.
