When Dory's big sister, Violet is having friend trouble at school,
Dory tries to help. However, Dory's vivid imagination takes over and
Dory believes that Violet's problem involves pirates. And Violet's lost
friendship bracelet is a hidden treasure that Dory needs to find. When
Dory tries to help Violet locate her missing bracelet, she starts having
her own friend troubles when her imaginary friend Mary, decides to go
on vacation with another friend.
The novel was a quick
and fun read. It has the perfect mix of silliness while teaching kids
about building a lasting friendship. I enjoyed reading the fun
adventures of Dory's overactive imagination.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
The fifth adventure in the enormously popular Dory Fantasmagory series takes on the tried-and-true theme of childhood
friendships, and turns it on its head, Dory-style.
When
her big sister Violet has friend trouble at school, Dory tries to come
to her rescue. But Dory's active imagination takes over,
and she is sure that Violet's lost treasure (a friendship bracelet) has
something to do with pirates. In search of the treasure, Dory meets up
with a real pirate crew and finds that a pirate's life is harder than
she thought. At sea, Dory longs for her imaginary
friend Mary. But Mary has gone off with an exciting new friend of her
own and Dory is crushed with jealousy. Just when things can't get any
worse, Dory's old enemy, Mrs. Gobble Gracker shows up and Dory's ocean
adventure takes a surprising turn.
There's a ton of treasure in Dory's fifth adventure as Dory mixes in pirates, pals (real and make-believe), and her own imagination into one wild and wet free-for-all.
