“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.
