Call me Drog

"Call Me Drog" introduces Parker, an eleven-year-old boy whose life is upended by a mysterious, sinister puppet that refuses to leave his hand. This strange predicament forces Parker to confront not only the puppet itself but also the people in his life he's struggled to assert himself with, including his best friend, his mother, and his often-absent father. The stakes are high, as failure to remove the puppet could lead to military school. This chapter book blends realistic family and friendship dynamics with a compelling touch of magical realism, exploring themes of self-confidence, bravery, and finding one's voice. It's a story about personal empowerment and navigating complex relationships under extraordinary circumstances.

Unless eleven-year-old Parker can find a way to remove the sinister puppet that refuses to leave his hand, he will wind up in military school or worse but first he must stand up for himself to his best friend Wren, his mother, and his nearly-absent father.
