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?
