Bookroo's summary
Dory's first day at school promises to be anything but ordinary. Warned by her siblings to leave her imaginary friend behind, Dory meets a new classmate with an equally vivid imagination. Can she prove to her family that her new friend is real, or will her wild tales get her into trouble? Join Dory on a hilarious adventure filled with creativity and unexpected friendships.
From the publisher
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! 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!
