Famed composer Reuben Walrus is going deaf, even as he finishes
up his greatest symphony. To stave off the encroaching silence, he
embarks on an odyssey that will, hopefully, lead him to Maximilian,
a fabled creature rumored to have miraculous healing powers. But
exactly who--or what--is Maximilian? According to Wolf Diaz,
Maximilian, unlike the other stuffed animals of Mollisan Town, did
not arrive by green delivery truck. He cannot be identified as any
particular species and is made from a material unlike any other
with almost invisible seams. And, as he's matured, he's begun
preaching odd parables, attracting a legion of followers hoping to
learn from his teachings. But his acolytes aren't the only plush
figures paying attention. The dark forces currently ruling Mollisan
Town are listening as well--which has sent Maximilian into hiding.
Now time is running out if Reuben hopes to find him before the
sounds of his world fade out forever.
Through the complex lives of the stuffed animals living in the
world he brilliantly introduced in "Amberville," Tim Davys explores
the hopes and fears, strengths and weaknesses defining
humanity.
