To Squeeze a Prairie Dog

Scott Semegran is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. This is a different book than his other I read and loved (The Benevolent Lords of Sometimes Island) and it is equally fantastic.

What I loved most about this book is how it focuses on the everyday person and how they are working hard, trying to live their lives the best they can. You have moms helping their kids, kids struggling with wanting to help their parents, and friends who are trying to be there for each other.

This took me back to my days working overnight at Wal-Mart as a stocker. We were a small crew, but very close and tight-knit. I loved the comraderie and closeness of the Unit 3 crew in this read. It bought back some fond memories for me.

This is definitely one I recommend. It's a quick, fun, and witty read.
