Bookroo's summary

Dory faces a reading challenge at school, stuck with baby books while her friend Rosabelle breezes through chapter books. Wishing for a magical solution, Dory's imagination spirals into chaos when a mischievous girl resembling her nemesis and a black sheep leap from the pages of her book. As Dory navigates this unexpected adventure, she must become the superhero she dreams of being, even if she can't yet read. Can Dory save the day and discover the magic of reading along the way?

From the publisher

Ever since Dory met Rosabelle, a real true friend whose imagination and high spirits match her own, school has been pretty good. But now the class is learning to read, and it’s proving to be a challenge for Dory. While Rosabelle can read chapter books in her head, Dory is stuck with baby books about a happy little farm. Dory wishes for a potion to turn her into a reader but things don’t go as planned. Suddenly, a naughty little girl who looks an awful lot like Dory’s imaginary nemesis, Mrs. Gobble Gracker, shows up. And a black sheep leaves the pages of the farm book to follow Dory to school. It really needs her help–this seems like a job for a superhero! And it would help if she knew how to read.
