Book excerpt: The attic is dark, dusty, and packed with Grandmother's forgotten things. It's no place for a toy, especially a toy as energetic as Jack-in-the-Box. Jack wants someone to play with. Jack wants to have fun. Most of all, Jack wants to be free. When Shane finds Jack, the toy gets a new home, but he still wants to be free, and he certainly doesn't want to stay in his box. Running away from Shane and his parents, Jack sets out to see the world. The little toy quickly discovers the world's much bigger—and much scarier—than he thought. When strangers realize how much money they could make with a walking, talking toy, Jack really finds trouble. All he wants now is to go home to Shane, but to escape his new owners, he's going to need a little help. Accompanied by bright, playful illustrations, Jan Spear's Mr. Jack-in-the-Box is a magical tale for any child who ever dreamed that toys could talk.
