Book overview

OVER 2 MILLION DORY BOOKS SOLD WORLDWIDE - Dory takes measures into her own hands after getting separated from her mom in this bestselling, laugh-out-loud chapter book series about an imaginative little rascal with a big personality--and bigger feelings.

"Some of the best children's literature in years." --New York Magazine

When Dory loses track of her mom in the hardware store, it leads to a touch of separation anxiety. After reuniting, Dory worries that her mom will leave her again--after all, she's an adult who can do whatever she wants. Dory suspects her mom will soon sail off on a ship across the world to eat cake, play kickball, and never return. These are big feelings, but Dory knows just what to do: She throws a sheet over her head and haunts her family as a ghost so they can't run away from her ever again!

Complete with pencil-drawn pictures bursting with charm and character, this hilarious series about a lovably energetic little sister and her antics is sure to keep the whole family laughing.
