Book Cover & Preview Text
Bravely, Josh walked down the dark and scary cave. He could feel the damp ground sticking to the bottom of his feet. The walls of the cave were smooth, wet rock and the ceiling was the same. Drops of water were dripping down and hitting Josh on top of his head. Further into the cave he noticed something on the ground, but he couldn’t tell what it was. Josh walked over to it. It was a sock! The sock was turned inside out, lying in the middle of the passageway. He bent down and picked it up. It was just a plain white sock. Josh knew that Dad wore black business socks and the sock was much too big to be Mom’s. This sock was not his sock, or Mom’s sock, or Dad’s sock. “So this white sock must be someone else’s sock.” Josh could remember Mom saying, “Always turn your socks right side out when you take them off, so I don’t have to do it before I wash them.” This sock was very dirty and needed to be washed, so Josh turned the sock right side out. As soon as he did the sock jumped out of his hand! This scared Josh so badly that he dropped the flashlight. As it hit the ground the light shined on the sock hopping away down the long, dark and scary cave. “That was crazy!” he shouted. “Now I know my red sock must be down here. It has to be.”

About the Book
Josh and The Sock Army is a fun and entertaining story about a boy who goes looking for his missing red sock. His imagination takes over and he ends up in a secret cave under his house. In the cave Josh finds a giant sock army, bent on revenge for all the stinky feet that people have put in them. “This story reminds me of the children’s books I grew up with. It promotes using one’s imagination and seeking out adventure. I think that kids now have so many distractions and electronic toys that it is hard for them to engage in this type of creativity. If I can influence one child to explore his or her imagination this project will be a success.” - Samuel Fragoza For more about Josh and The Sock Army and other books, follow @ twitter.com/sockarmy @ facebook.com/joshandthesockarmy Purchase “Josh and The Sock Army” @ www.fragoza.me
