This is the story of J. D. Wiswall, a sincere young man from a small town, who joins a state government agency in a data entry department comprised of quirky clerks. Quickly endearing himself to the diverse group in Unit 3, J. D. learns his coworkers have a pact to share the $10,000 prize if they win a cost-savings program for a suggestion that could save the government money, in turn helping them rise above their own personal struggles.

From award-winning writer Scott Semegran, To Squeeze a Prairie Dog is an American, modern-day tale with working class folks--part fable, part satire, and part comedy-- revealing that camaraderie amongst kind-hearted friends wins the day over evil intentions.
