But the solution is just the beginning of problems for the Unit 3 employee. Semegran is convincing in his portrayal of social oddballs and political ambitions and handles the crux of the book\u2019s theme splendidly: the camaraderie of coworkers at unit 3, J.D.\u2019s blissful small-town ignorance of the big city ways, bureaucratic confusion, political corruption, and yellow journalism. Written in a crisp, clear prose, this fast-paced novel will delight fans of literary fiction. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">To Squeeze a Prairie Dog <\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">by Scott Semegran<\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/172386689X\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy now <\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">PUB DATE <\/span>February 1, 2019<\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">ISBN 9781723866890<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">PRICE $15.99 (USD)<\/span><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Semegran is at the top of his game as he crafts this thoroughly engaging read\u2026 Scott Semegran spins everyday lives of ordinary characters into a dramatic tale packed with wry humor, bureaucratic shenanigans, and unexpected windfalls.
