What is The Invisible Dog about?
Seven-year-old Janie longs for a dog, but her parents can't afford one. She creates an imaginary Great Dane named Henry, who eats invisible food bought with invisible money. To her amazement, mysterious events—and perhaps a touch of magic—bring Henry to life. Was their neighbour, Mrs Garrow, with her cackling laugh and black cat, behind this enchanting transformation?
