Dodger and Me

2008

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.

Dodger for President

2009

What would you do if your best friend 1. Still imaginary (and still an oversize blue chimp with major junk-food issues)? 2. Nominating you to run for class president - against the most popular kid in your grade? 3. In charge of your campaign posters…all blue, of course, including your face !? 4. Planning a magical secret weapon to help you win (not fair and square, right?)? 5. Driving you crazy?!?! Now you have an idea of what Willie Ryan's life is like as his adventures with Dodger continue. The last thing Willie wants to do is run for class president, but both his running mate, Lizzie, and Dodger won't let him quit - and have their own ideas of how to run a campaign, especially against James Beeks, Mr. Popularity. In this second installment of the Dodger and Me series, the humor runs high, the friendships run deep, and Dodger continues to run on French fries and good intentions.

Dodger for Sale

2010

What would you do if your best friend was: 1. Still imaginary (and getting into trouble with other “imaginary” creatures, such as leprechauns. That’s right, leprechauns!!)? 2. In danger of losing his home, and the only forest in your town, the magical Field of Dreams? 3. Driving you crazy?!?! (But in a best-friend type of way . . . ) Now you have an idea of what Willie Ryan’s life is like in the third and final installment of the hilarious Dodger and Me series. Only this time, Dodger’s gone and peeved a band of leprechauns; Willie’s sister, Amy, is missing; and class bully James Beeks’s dad wants to build a housing development in the Field of Dreams. It just might take an oversize blue chimp—who may or may not be imaginary—and his two fifth-grade friends, Willie and Lizzie, to step up as environmental activists and save the woods (and still get their homework done).

I am the author of seven books for children and young adults, including Drums, Girls & Dangerous Pie. So if youʼre looking for info about some other guy named Jordan Sonnenblick, youʼve got the wrong website. Anyway, I know a lot of people are looking for stuff they can use in reports for school, so Iʼll just get this out of the way right up front: My favorite color is blue. I have a wife and two kids. The best pet I ever had was a garter snake I caught when I was eight by a lake in Pennsylvania. I named the snake Hector. Then it gave birth to 20 baby snakes, so I changed its name to Hectoria. My all-time favorite band is the Beatles, although I like a ton of different music. My hobbies are playing the drums, guitar, and bass; riding my bicycle at least 50 miles a week; hanging out with my wife and kids; and reading. Speaking of reading, I read a lot of different genres. As a kid, though, I mostly read fantasy, science fiction, and comic books. When I was in fourth grade, a fantasy novel called The Dark is Rising inspired me to become a novelist someday. My favorite baseball team is the New York Yankees. When I was a kid, my best friend and I used to go to Yankees games and throw open ketchup packets off the upper deck. Donʼt try that at home, kids!
