 “First joy, then despair fills his little life after his similarly dryer-born Lint Bear buddy is snatched by gnarled hands, dipped in muck and imprisoned in suspended bird cages along with other dolls in an abandoned toy shop by wicked, stone-hearted Tortua.  Lint Boy has pluck and resourcefulness enough to lead the desperate dolls to a  liberating triumph  in this 120 page testament to all you can make with a bit of fluff, a needle and thread and a grand imagination.  Lint Boy’s pale watercolor and ink illustrations spin a yarn to remember in this quirky 120 page graphic novel. Likely to delight fans of Lemony Snicket’s  and a potential inspiration to a needle and thread renaissance of scrap doll-making. Recommended.”
