WARNING! Some people suffer from pupaphobia, which is another way of saying they are absolutely terrified by puppets. If you think you may be a pupaphobe, DO NOT READ You Will Call Me Drog. Drog is no muppet.
Hello, and thanks for visiting this site. I hope you’ll browse through the pages about my stories , poems, and books, but I’m most excited to share with you my new novel, YOU WILL CALL ME DROG (Carolrhoda Books, 2011; Usborne UK, 2012).
Be sure to click on “Win a Rock and A Book” because you might get a copy before it even comes out!
What if you found an ugly puppet in the trash can and put it on your hand? What if the puppet said, “You will call me Drog”?
What if it told wild stories and criticized your life? And the worst thing was, you couldn’t get him off your hand.
No, the worst thing was, no one believed you.
“. . .Drog is the anti-Pinocchio of middle school. He tells the truth! But reader beware: DROG is hard to put down. A laugh out loud story about a sassy puppet and the boy who gloved him. (Sorry, Drog made me do it!!)”
