A magic pen. A wild, unfinished world. And a dad and daughter who must learn to write their story together.
Lisa used to tell her dad everything. Now the only place they really talk is the red journal they pass back and forth, where she corrects his terrible spelling in red ink.
Then their neighbor leaves Lisa a hand-carved pen wrapped in gold thread, with a note: This helped me, and I think it’ll be great for you.
The pen only works when two people hold it together. When Lisa and her dad do, it pulls them into the Draft, a world still being written, where hills fold over in the night, rivers move, and a herd of wild horses runs from three hungry wolves.
But the Draft has a rule: follow the herd, and you slowly become one of them.
Dad has lost his voice. Lisa’s hands are turning into hooves. And the farther she runs with the herd, the more she forgets the girl she used to be.
Can a girl who’s spent her whole life fitting in learn to stand her ground before it’s too late?
The Draft is a story about:
- The courage to stop following the crowd
- Friends who build you up, and the ones who don’t
- A dad who never stops coming after his daughter
- A God who’s with you even when you feel completely alone
Written by Christian author James Bonk and his 11-year-old daughter, Blythe, this is a book families can share together, for ages 8–12 and fans of Warriors and The Chronicles of Narnia.
