THEY CALL ME NO SAM!
An Instant New York Times Bestseller
An Indie Next Pick
A "howlingly funny tale." -ALA Booklist starred review
From Drew Daywalt, the 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Day the Crayons Quit, and illustrator Mike Lowery comes a heavily illustrated, paper-over-board middle grade novel about Sam, a noble pug who will go to any lengths to protect his family from the bad guys!
Meet Sam: an insolent pug-and incidental hero-who will stop at nothing to protect his family!
When scientists Elaine and Gary Peterson adopt Sam to keep their son, Justin, company in the midst of a top-secret research project, they never imagine the precocious pup will cause more harm than good. But from chewing up Elaine's hair dryer the "brain-melting heat cannon" to his inability to be house-trained who could resist the "pooping rug"? , the Petersons aren't sure how much more they can take. And that's before Sam starts harassing Justin's crush and potential new friend , Phoebe, who Sam is sure is an evil wizard out to harm Justin.
But when a pair of crooks encroaches on the Peterson household in an attempt to steal their confidential findings, Sam's actions-never mind his reasoning for them-just may save the day.
