ABANDONED. BUT NEVER ALONE.

A little wonky.
A little wonderful.
Entirely themselves.

Deep in the shadows of Horris Toy Factory, a group of forgotten bears are given a second chance.

Meet Bulk, Bony, Dash, Creepy, Shadow, Dee and Clark Dent. Together with four clever mice and their robotic friend B3, they discover that being different can be the very thing that makes you special.

For little readers, it’s a world of daring rescues, friendship and discovery. For parents, it’s the fun of spotting nostalgic Easter eggs along the way. An adventure to share, with something for both of you.

THE HUMAN BEHIND THE BEARS

Hello, I’m RJ Thompson.

I write and illustrate The Uncuddibles for young, budding adventurers — and the grown-ups who love sharing a story with them. Expect unlikely heroes, extraordinary friendships and a generous helping of nostalgic Easter eggs.

With the original six adventures reimagined, I’m busy bringing the next three stories to life. There’s plenty more trouble for this gang to get into.

Beyond The Uncuddibles

More books from RJ Thompson will be joining this corner of the website soon.

Little adventurers. Big imaginations. Join the gang.
