Series: Dory Fantasmagory

Dory turns learning to read into a hilarious adventure through the power of imagination in the third book of this acclaimed series!

Dory turns learning to read into a hilarious adventure through the power of imagination-perfect for fans of Junie B. Jones and Ivy and Bean!

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.

In her third book, Dory takes reluctant reading to new heights with a story that is as one-of-a-kind and hilarious as she is.

""An especially wonderful book to share with reluctant readers...

I can't imagine a book more calculated to reinforce the power of reading and becoming a reader thanDory Dory Black Sheep. It is a true triumph.""-Publishers WeeklyShelfTalker

""Hanlon has a winning way with the story's characters (real andimaginary) and dialogue."" -Booklist
