A new school friend for Dory

Dory’s first day at school brings a new companion whose imaginative streak matches her own. But after her older siblings warn her to leave her imaginary friend—and her imagination—at home, Dory has to persuade them that this new friendship is real. The story builds its central conflict around the gap between how Dory sees the world and what her siblings believe, with school, family, friendship, and make-believe all in play. Pencil-drawn illustrations accompany this chapter book, part of Abby Hanlon’s Dory Fantasmagory series.
