Fans of Junie B. Jones and Ivy and Bean will love this new story
about the spunky little rascal with big ideas.
The star of Dory Fantasmagory is heading to school. Her older
siblings, Luke and Violet, warn her to leave her imaginary friend, Mary,
at home--or better yet, leave her whole imagination at home! Dory is
determined to behave like a "regular old girl who never gets in
trouble," but on her very first day she meets a new friend, a girl whose
imagination and style are just about as wild as her own. Now she just
has to convince her siblings that she's not making it all up!
Filled with plenty of funny pictures, this book bursts with charm and
impudence, making this a must-read for the chapter book set.
