Maggie has twin, younger brothers and her mother is just a few months away from giving birth to another baby. Things are always happening in their house, but Maggie doesn't always feel a part of it. More than anything, she wants a dog. She knows her brothers will be too busy for a dog, and her parents' focus will be on the new baby so that means the dog will really be hers.
The long-awaited trip to the pet store finally takes place. A cute little puppy is now part of the family. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for Maggie to display alarming signs of allergy. A visit to the doctor reveals she is severely allergic to animals with fur or feathers. The cute little puppy is returned to the pet store.
Maggie does some research on pets without fur or feathers but doesn't find a successful fit. Life is looking pretty bleak. Even a new next door neighbor friendship becomes rocky when the friend gets a dog. Now Maggie can't go next door, and Claire has to change clothes when she comes over to Maggie's house.
Going to a new school, getting weekly allergy shots, and preparing for the new baby all add to the stress in Maggie's life. Will she ever get what she wants? Will things ever go her way? Pick up a copy of ALLERGIC and find out.
