the donut, the balloon and the lifesaver

Pre-adolescent aspiring writer, Drew Shocky, gets stuck spending Thanksgiving with his idiosyncratic leaf blower-loving father, donut-consuming mother and repetitive aunts and uncles. His only refuge is Molly, the bumper sticker-creating cousin and his pad and pencil.
