Dory Fantasmagory: Center of the Universe

About the Book

It’s soccer season and—here comes Dory! The wildly popular rascal is back in a story about confidence, competition, and . . . the cosmos.

Dory is on her first soccer team with her best friends, Rosabelle and George. Dory is pumped and ready to score a billion goals, but Rosabelle is having a meltdown over wearing cleats, and George is mysteriously acting like a baby. So, Dory attempts to befriend a new teammate, Valentina. Making a new friend isn’t so easy, especially when Valentina kicks the ball perfectly every time, steals all the attention, and has a way of making a billion sound kinda small. Determined to outshine Valentina as the star of the team, Dory seeks help from her fairy godmother, Mr. Nuggy. But could Mr. Nuggy’s magic have accidentally created a direct phone line to outer space? This soccer situation just took on cosmic proportions!
