Fantasmical

I LOVED Dory Fantasmagory!  Loved it!  Loved it!  And Dory Fantasmagory and the Real True Friend was just as good.  It was fantastic.  Truly.  I loved how it didn't go in the way that I thought it would.  It totally avoided being just another story about making new friends and about how it is easy to go along with a clique and how about being different is great.  It was just original and fresh, even though it is a common topic, Dory, starting a new school year and her older brother and sister telling her not to be weird like she was last year or she won't have any friends.  Dory is a girl, but anyone of any gender would love this book.
