Description

What would you do if your best friend was:
     1. Imaginary?
     2. An oversize blue chimp in surfer shorts? (Potentially embarrassing, but hey, no one else can see him . . . right?)
     3. Proposing a plan to help you improve your life?
     4. Did we say imaginary?
     5. Driving you crazy?!?!
Now you have an idea of what Willie Ryan’s life is like when he meets Dodger. It’s the beginning of a lot of trouble—and a friendship you’ll never forget!

Praise for Dodger and Me…

“The humor will draw kids including Dodger’s off-the-wall dialogue and the outlandish predicaments that result when he decides to ‘help.’ The story grows increasingly engaging as Willie starts moving toward what he really wants.”—Booklist “Baseball fans will enjoy this novel.”—School Library Journal
“It is roll on the floor funny with several nice messages tucked in for good measure.”—Brenda Kahn, Librarian, Haworth Public School (NJ)
