Excerpt from Book CHAPTER 1 My name is Dory, but everyone calls me Rascal. This is my family. I am the little kid. My sisters name is Violet and my brothers name is Luke. Violet is the oldest. Violet and Luke never want to play with me. They say Im a baby. "Mom! Rascal is bothering us!" "What is she doing?" calls my mother. All summer long, whenever I try to play with Luke and Violet, they say, "PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE!" Well, Im not going to leave. But I cant think of what to say, so I ask questions. Any question I can think of. "I cant wait for school to start so we can get a break from Rascal!" says Violet. "Me too!" grumbles Luke. "Dont talk about school!" I cover my ears. I never want summer to end. I like to stay home in my nightgown instead of getting dressed for school. "Its a winter nightgown," says Violet. "And its inside out," says Luke. "And its backwards," says Violet. "So what?" I say. "So, now that you turned six, you need to stop acting like such a baby!" "Why do you always call me a baby?" I complain. "Because you talk to yourself," says Violet. "And you have temper tantrums," says Luke. "And you play with monsters," says Violet. Talk to myself? I have no idea what they are talking about. I never talk to MYSELF. I talk to my friend Mary. No one can see her except me. Mary always wants to play with me. She thinks Im the greatest. At night, Mary sleeps under my bed. During the day, Mary follows me around. She wants to do whatever Im doing. I usually dont mind, but sometimes I have to tell her no. "Okay. Mary, what do you want to play?" I ask. Here are some things Mary likes to do: Details ISBN0803740883 Author Abby Hanlon Publisher Penguin Putnam Inc ISBN-10 0803740883 ISBN-13 9780803740884 Format Hardcover Imprint Dial Books for Young Readers,US Subtitle Fantasmagory Country of Publication United States Short Title DORY FANTASMAGORY Language English Media Book DEWEY FIC Series Number 01 Year 2014 Pages 160 Series Dory Fantasmagory Publication Date 2014-10-09 AU Release Date 2014-10-09 NZ Release Date 2014-10-09 US Release Date 2014-10-09 UK Release Date 2014-10-09 Audience Children / Juvenile Audience Age 7-10 Illustrations BLACK AND WHITE ILLUSTRATIONS We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
