A new school friend for Dory

Dory’s first day at school brings a familiar challenge: her older siblings want her to leave her imaginary friend—and her imagination—at home. Then she meets a classmate whose imaginative flair matches her own, and has to persuade Violet and Luke that this new friend is real. The school-day situation puts sibling skepticism alongside the excitement of finding someone who shares your way of seeing the world. Pencil-drawn illustrations accompany this chapter book, which centers on imagination, friendship, and Dory’s lively family dynamics.
