The Hollow Tree: Where Forgotten Toys Come Alive: A Spooky Middle Grade Adventure

By PixelArt Studio Press

A creepy, heartfelt middle grade adventure where forgotten toys don't play nice...

In Meadowbrook, every kid knows the rules about the Hollow Tree: Don't go in after dark. Don't go alone. And never, ever ignore the whistling.

When Eli and his friends break the rules on a dare, they tumble into the Forget-Me-Nots - a twilight world of angry stuffed animals, broken robots, and toys abandoned by the children who once loved them. Led by a vengeful Mr. Buttons and the terrifying Pullstring General, the toys are building an army... and they know the kids' names.

With help from brave little Tess and her sewing kit, the children must face their guilt, mend what they broke, and learn that "sorry" isn't enough - you have to do better.

Perfect for fans of Coraline, Doll Bones, and spooky toy stories with heart. Mild peril, big emotions, and a redemptive message about growing up without forgetting what matters.

Will the kids fix their mistakes before the Hollow Tree claims them forever?

Ideal for ages 6-12. Read with caregivers if sensitive to abandonment themes.
