![]() ![]() Capturing the power of a child’s imagination, Hanlon draws readers into Dory’s fantastical world. Hanlon’s writing is sharp and so very imaginative. Let’s just say an imaginative monster friend named Mary and concocting a special poisoned soup with her fairy godmother Mr. ![]() And what she does to make up for it is absolutely entertaining. The younger sister of Violet and Luke, Dory, who is the baby, is not often included in their fun. The book’s many illustrations will appeal to all readers.

With its fast-paced chapters and ridiculous antics, Dory Fantasmagory is a great read-aloud or independent read for elementary school students. ![]() So I picked up Abby Hanlon‘s Dory Fantasmagory ( Puffin Books, 2014) at Avid Bookshop when I was up in Athens a few weeks ago. I felt the need to read something for young readers, something that was not quite a picture book and not quite a middle grades book. ![]()
