Allow me to introduce you to Curious World of Dandy-Lion. A Middle-Grade Fantasy. Geared to inquisitive young readers who love a touch of the fantastical.
A remarkable sensitive girl struggles to make friends in an impossible fifth-grade world filled with magical creatures only she can see.
In a small Indiana town, Meredith experiences whimsical within the mundane. Fireflies dance inside lampposts, flowers wave in greeting, and an opinionated beetle named Floss wreaks havoc on her life. No one believes her-not even her parents-but more pressing problems are at hand.
The widower neighbor, who is like her grandparent, won't leave his home. He has been jinxed, Meredith believes, by Billy, aka her bully. Desperate to free Mr. Dally, Meredith devises a plan. What can go wrong?
With Floss sabotaging her? Everything. The task may be more than she can handle alone.

Curious World of Dandy-Lion by Lorraine Hawley is a delightful, enjoyable, and touching story. It contains lovely illustrations that depict scenes from a little girl's amazing imaginary world.
I absolutely love this sweet, gorgeously written tale and how it honors the importance of showing kindness and compassion to sad and lonely people around us.
It teaches children to believe in themselves, embrace their uniqueness, and that friends are for fun, adventure, and helping others. Curious World of Dandy-Lion by Lorraine Hawley nicely proves that even the smallest creatures, magical or real, can help others in a big way.
Kids with a wild imagination, imaginary friends, or who have trouble making friends in school will resonate with this book.
