Description
The Dog Knight by Jeremy Whitley introduces us to Frankie, who knows exactly who they are. They're a drummer, they're nonbinary, and they're... the Dog Knight?
One day, Frankie is a relatively normal middle schooler facing typical challenges, such as finding the perfect outfit for their upcoming drum solo. This changes after they save a friendly golden retriever from bullies and wake up in a giant magical doghouse, wearing a funny looking helmet, and speaking to a group of dog superheroes called the Pawtheon.
If Frankie can demonstrate the six dog virtues of loyalty, kindness, honesty, justice, stubbornness, and smell, they will be named the Dog Knight, gaining the power to battle the forces of chaos.
Maybe there is more to Frankie than they thought?

A YALSA Great Graphic Novel For Kids 2024. "A delightful story of fate-of-the-world friendship and adventure, filled with a ton of heart... and tails too." – Ryan North, author of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. "The Dog Knight is a classic hero's journey with a unique, relatable hero wearing a very silly helm – and lots of charming dogs." – Dana Simpson, author of Phoebe and her Unicorn.
