주인공 도리는 상상력이 풍부한 7살 여자아이입니다. 집안에서는 하도 이상한 일을 많이 벌리곤 해서 Rascal(래스컬, 악동이라는 뜻)이라는 다소 심한 별명으로 불리우기도 합니다.

도리에게는 언니와 오빠가 있지만 도리와 함께 놀아주려고 하지 않습니다. 도리가 혼자말을 많이 하고 자신들을 귀찮게 하기 때문이라네요.

하지만 도리에게는 언니와 오빠가 놀아주지 않아도 함께 시간을 보내주고 대화도 나눠주는 상상 속의 친구 메리가 있지요. 그리고 집안에는 역시 상상 속의 괴물들이 많이 살고 있습니다. 모두 도리에게 잘 대해주는 것은 아니고, 도리를 괴롭히려는 Mrs.Gobble Gracker라는 아기도둑 괴물도 있어요. 하지만 도리는 자신이 위기에 처했을 때 바나나로 전화를 하면 달려와서 도와주는 요정아저씨 Nuggy를 상상 속에 만들어 내서 그의 도움으로 아기도둑 Mrs.Gobble Gracker를 물리치려고 합니다...

이런 상상속 친구들과 집안에서 여러가지 놀이를 하는 도리를 통해, 어린 아이다운 순수함과 자유로운 상상력의 세계를 경험하게 해주는 책입니다.

Book Description
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.
With plenty of pictures bursting with charm and character, this hilarious book about an irresistible rascal is the new must-read for the chapter book set.


School Library Journal
Six-year-old Dory, known as Rascal to her family, wants more than anything to be included in her older siblings's fun, but her endless questions and make-believe monsters drive them crazy. When Violet and Luke tell Dory a bedtime story about the evil Mrs. Gobble Grackle, who steals baby girls, they unintentionally feed her already overactive imagination. Dory and her imaginary friend, Mary (who resembles Maurice Sendak's Max), are always on the lookout for monsters, and they thwart Mrs. Gobble Grackle's attempts to kidnap her with banana peels and sleep-inducing darts. When Dory pretends to be the dog her brother has always wanted, she convinces Mrs. G that she isn't the baby to kidnap and sabotages a trip to the doctor's office. Hanlon effectively uses many childlike pencil drawings and word balloons interspersed with a good mix of short and long sentences in brief, episodic chapters full of Dory's hilarious adventures. New vocabulary words are used in context within familiar settings and situations for the audience, creating a successful transitional book for new readers ready for longer stories. Dory ultimately finds a way to prove her bravery to her brother and sister, and readers will laugh at her entertaining antics.

"Time spent with Dory is time well spent."- PW, starred review

"Perfection of tone, plot, pacing, art, you name it. Author Abby Hanlon has taken a universal childhood desire (the wish of the younger sibling for the older ones to play with them) and turned it into a magnificent epic fantasy complete with sharp-toothed robbers, bearded fairy godmothers, and what may be the most realistic 6-year-old you’ll ever meet on a page. In a word, fantastico." - SLJ Fuse 8 Blog

“This book has everything going for it: A throbbing heart at its center …humor in spades and charm to spare...this is one of the best children’s books I’ve seen all year." - Kirkus Reviews blog
