Not all toys are child’s play. Avery Tannenbaum receives a strange unmarked Christmas present. It is a sleek black headset unlike anything on the market, and she is not the only one who got one. All over the world, people connected to virtual design and neural technology are discovering the same device. No one knows who sent them. No one knows how they work. When Avery’s headset suddenly activates during a family gathering, it triggers a chain of events that coincides with the unexpected death of her grandmother, Nana Rai. The device is not just a gift. It is a signal. A starting point for something called the Hunt. Now living in her grandmother’s estate, Avery uncovers forgotten toys, cryptic carvings, and rooms wired with hidden systems. With the help of her cousins, she begins to explore the deeper purpose behind the headsets. What begins as curiosity becomes a race to uncover the truth behind Nana Rai’s final invention. The Hunt is not a game. It’s a test. Toymaker: Return of the Lost Toys is a sci-fi mystery filled with immersive technology, family secrets, and a hidden past coming back to life. Perfect for fans of Warcross , The Maze Runner , and A Series of Unfortunate Events , it asks one question: What if the toys we discard never really go away? Some gifts come with strings attached.
