Description
Jink has spent the
majority of his days sitting in his chair by the window in his Victorian
home, peering out in solitude. After years of waiting for the return of
Janie, he grows ever restless. The memories of her are bittersweet and
painful, like honey and jagged glass. Jink can think of nothing else.
One day while gazing out his window in his large empty house, it occurs
to him that this window has become his own glass cage. Quickly growing
resentful of this realization he decides that he has had enough. He
packs his belongings into his suitcase and takes off across the country
to fill the void of emptiness that has been there since the absence of
her. Journal in hand, he is determined to the fill the pages.

"I can honestly say this is one of my favorite books of the year so far. In a word this book was amazing...I
love the opening sentence of this book, “Once there lived a rather
special Teddy Bear.” In fact the whole of the first chapter was
enchanting and reminiscent of the style of Enid Blyton. The
author uses lovely phrasing to describe everything from the scenery to
the characters. My favorite was a description of a character called
Amber as having a demeanor that was “strong and lone-wolf-like." I
cannot stress enough how much I love this book in particular the way it
deals with grief and loss throughout and also the twists and turns in
plot throughout. My friends and family will certainly be having this
book recommended to them." Stacey Coleshaw Blog Reviewer
"It’s an impressive, captivating story from the beginning... The style is shockingly interesting, because when you think you are reading a certain kind of book, later you will discover that you have in your hands something completely different. But…This one is a book that for creativity and geniality is able to make the difference and I warmly suggest it to all of you. The cover is beautiful, and it attracted me from the first time and it was why I picked up this book at first. I was right because you can’t put it down for any reason but you must discover what will happen next. You will love all the characters Jink will meet along the way because they’re all beautiful souls..." Anna Maria Polidori Blog Reviewer & Reporter

If you’re looking for a quick thriller to read, pick up The Lonely Teddy Bear and prepare yourself for an ending that you won’t see coming! This whole book is a wonderful story about a teddy bear that goes looking to fill the void left by his human friend, Janie.
