Willy's miniature train set and big accompanying town comes to life after a thunderstorm. Willy and his friend Zack keep seeing toys where they aren't supposed to be. It soon becomes apparent that the tiny people of Tiny Town are plotting a revolution! They are being egged on by new toy Hurley the Hobo. Soon, the toys are engaging in all-out war with the two boys.
Enormously entertaining Goosebumps knock-off that delivers lots of fun and action without that series' constant cliff-hanger chapter endings. The plot reminded me quite a lot of the film Small Soldiers, although this was published two years before that movie was released. Of course, you won't find anything really deep here, but you will get a real fun, fast-paced ride that barely stops to take a breath. This was an enjoyable dollop of middle-grade horror that briefly lifted me out of this year's reading slump.

Old Children's Book. Liked it as a kid, but haven't read it in years.

Fun, full of action, and wasn't expecting that ending actually.
