March Of The Toy Soldiers - Paperback

(from the award-winning author of STEALING MONA LISA - "...a masterful storyteller." New York Journal of Books). When a fire breaks out in an antique shop in New York City, scores of old metal toy soldiers come to life and make a daring escape. But that's only the beginning of their adventures. Threatened from every direction, they make their way to the wilds of Central Park hoping to find the only person who can help them, a young boy who comes to visit them every day after school. But first, they must run a gauntlet of belligerent squirrels and pigeons determined to destroy them. This leads to a final showdown at the Alice in Wonderland Statue where the boy and the soldiers face an even greater danger.
