Allergic

Written by: Megan Wagner Lloyd

First line: It was my tenth birthday

Why you should read this book: The only thing Maggie wants for her birthday is a puppy, and she's found the perfect one in the shelter—until it turns out that this puppy isn't perfect after all, because Maggie breaks out in itchy hives when she touches it. Worse still, the doctor says she's allergic to every animal with fur or feathers, and now she's not allowed to have any cuddly companion, even the tiniest mouse. Her parents have each other and a new baby on the way, and her twin brothers don't seem to need anyone but each other, but who's going to be Maggie's match in her family now?

Why you shouldn't read this book: You think a spider is a great companion.
