Bonewitz found her dream: to be a toy for real children. FROST Agents, however, took Heera and Caesar, away.
Now, it's personal. Boney regroups with the Lelle Gang, who plan the most outrageous caper of the living toy animal lives: to free children from a center.- on the Night of the Death Valley Knight!

We meet Andy, whose superhero pretend play wraps him up in the magical night; Marteen, a thoughtful boy keeping his mind on freedom and good vibes; Jean, who prays to an angel that never leaves him; the officers involved, including Andy's dad; and finally, along with cast of colorful critters, we meet Tom Blackwood, aiding the Lelle Gang's caper with his strange power.

Purpose: to use depictions of freedom and confinement to help our youth understand the world into which we've come, to foster empathy and compassion, and provide hope to those who care, but feel disempowered. I kept to the plot and its many details, with characterization as the key to opening the narrattive's Magical Realism. The emotional reality to the characters keeps center stage.
