Review by Booklist Review
Having landed gigs as special agents for the Department of Secret Affairs in the opening episode Spy Toys (2018), three intelligent toys with slight defects tackle a cyberterrorist in this equally madcap sequel. It seems that a secret override command programmed into all the products of toy megacorporation Snaztacular Ultrafun has been stolen from chief computer scientist Percival Potty as part of a scheme by disaffected smart toys to turn the grand opening of AI theme park Wow World into a round of revenge at abusive toy owners. Can superstrong teddy bear Dan, hyperaggressive rag doll Arabella, and bunny-bodied policebot Flax scotch the hackers' dastardly plot? Natch though not before rough encounters with foes ranging from a self-assembling jigsaw puzzle to a set of thuggish Tough Cookies, various cliff-hangers and hostage rescues, and a surprise main villain, Player One, who gloatingly explains his every fiendishly clever step. Wesson's cartoon scenes of toys in black underscore the zany tone of this rather topical thriller.--John Peters Copyright 2019 Booklist
