April 2012 Debut of the Month. Parker’s got a lot of demons to face as he struggles to come to terms with his parent’s separation and his father’s expectations of him. He thinks he’s coping alright until he finds Drog in the dump. An ugly hand puppet, once on, Drog refuses to come off and he has a lot of things to say for himself – and for Parker. Goaded by Drog, Parker faces up to his fears in this moving coming of age story.  Compelling, courageous and unforgettable, Call Me Drog is a classic coming-of-age story that packs a strong emotional punch.

A Piece of Passion from the Editor who acquired this debut novel:

'Be prepared, readers! Once you pick up CALL ME DROG, you'll find it IMPOSSIBLE to put down - kind of like Drog himself! I've never met anyone like this crazy puppet before. Drog is loud, rude, unpredictable, and at first, I actually found him a bit creepy. But once you get used to him, you'll see that deep down Drog's not all bad. Okay, so he gets eleven-year-old Parker into tons of trouble, but that's only because Drog won't stop talking. In fact, some of the things he says are kind of shocking…but I'll let you find that out for yourself.   Just be warned - once you read this book, you won’t be able to stop talking about Drog.' Stephanie King, Fiction Editor, Usborne Publishing
