For little Holly, a rainy day is even more dreary than being sick in bed. After her dad surprises her with a small, stuffed, gray dog, her brother names him Wuffy and notices that he has an odd lintball on his nose. Together, they imagine how Wuffy has magical powers that take him on adventures, beginning with his friend from the candy store, where he started. All is well until one day, Wuffy’s lintball goes missing! What will he do?
Together, they try to replace the magical lintball to bring the magic back. “As much as Holly and Jack tried, it was not the same lintball. Wuffy was not happy.” Finally, the brother and sister find the perfect lintball and Wuffy is off to new adventures. In a classic story of using one’s imagination to overcome boredom or trying days, the characters rise to the occasion and take the reader on an adventure.

Twelve-year-old Neon Blue Greene is queen of the cafeteria, co-captain of the cheerleading squad, and has the most amazing dog any seventh grader could ask for. Her only complaint in life is that her parents named her after the color of a sports energy drink—until the morning she overhears them whispering and learns that she has twenty-eight days left to live.
Neon needs a miracle, but how can she get one in only twenty-eight days? Then it hits her. She’ll do a good deed every day. She starts doing good deeds for everyone in town, from motorcycle gang dropout Knuckles Malone to her autistic classmate Bobby, who becomes a hero and friend when she needs one most. But when her best friends ditch her, and her good deeds go sideways, Neon wonders if she’ll get the miracle she needs . . . before it’s too late.
