Dory Fantasmagory: Can't Live Without You by Abby Hanlon

Dory takes measures into her own hands after getting separated from her mom in this bestselling, laugh-out-loud chapter book series about an imaginative little rascal with a big personality--and bigger feelings. Perfect for fans of Junie B. Jones and Ivy & Bean!

"Some of the best children's literature in years." --New York Magazine


When Dory loses track of her mom in the hardware store, it leads to a touch of separation anxiety. After reuniting, Dory worries that her mom will leave her again--after all, she's an adult who can do whatever she wants. Dory suspects her mom will soon sail off on a ship across the world to eat cake, play kickball, and never return. These are big feelings, but Dory knows just what to do: She throws a sheet over her head and haunts her family as a ghost so they can't run away from her ever again!

Complete with pencil-drawn pictures bursting with charm and character, this hilarious series about a lovably energetic little sister and her antics is sure to keep the whole family laughing.

Be sure to check out the entire Dory Fantasmagory series, which continues to grow alongside everyone's favorite little rascal, Dory! Look for them all:
