For Doris, a swimmy in the head thirteen-year-old, it seems life can get no worse. She's tragically unpopular at school and failing American History. She's grounded and will not be attending the spring dance. And now a creepy bug-eyed man is going to grant her a wish, whether she likes it or not. Get lost with Doris in a world where flowers sneeze, fairies can't be trusted, and a creature that isn't quite a wolf means to kill her. Sometimes a big imagination is all you need. That, and a dead mouse.
