Move over, Junie B. Jones and Ivy & Bean! Here comes a lovably energetic little sister with a BIG personality--and an imagination to match! As the youngest in her family, Dory really wants attention, and more than anything she wants her brother and sister to play with her. But she's too much of a baby for them, so she's left to her own devices--including her wild imagination and untiring energy. Her siblings may roll their eyes at her childish games, but Dory has lots of things to do: outsmarting the monsters all over the house, escaping from prison (aka time-out), and exacting revenge on her sister's favorite doll. And when they really need her, daring Dory will prove her bravery, and finally get exactly what she has been looking for.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Reality and fantasy combine hilariously in a story that, at heart, is about a girl who wants little more than to spend time with her brother and sister.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A good mix of short and long sentences in brief, episodic chapters [are] full of Dory’s hilarious adventures…Dory ultimately finds a way to prove her bravery to her brother and sister, and readers will laugh at her entertaining antics.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
“Six-year-old Dory, called Rascal, recounts how she finally gets her older brother and sister to play with her…Often just on the edge of out of control, this inventive child is irresistible and her voice convincing…Charming, funny, and true to life.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Narrator Suzy Jackson transports listeners into the colorful world of six-year-old Dory, who is better known as Rascal to her family. With a light, breathless voice, Jackson convinces listeners they’re right in the midst of Dory’s family struggles or, on other occasions, in her imagination…Jackson mirrors Dory’s boundless energy as she pesters her older siblings with endless questions, irritates her mother to the extreme by pretending to be a dog at the pediatrician’s office, and rattles off a list of terrible things Mrs. Gobble Gracker might do when she whisks Dory away. Relish this audio treat! Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award; 2016 Audies Finalist.” —AudioFile
