PAPERBACK
Author: Megan Wagner Lloyd

Sweet, funny, and completely relatable - ALLERGIC is the perfect graphic novel for animal lovers, allergy-warriors, and anyone who’s ever felt a little out of place. Told with warmth and humour, and illustrated with heartfelt expression, this story follows one girl determined to find where she fits - even when life throws her an unexpected plot twist.
Maggie is so sure that getting a puppy will finally make her feel like she belongs. Her parents are busy preparing for a new baby, her brothers have each other, and Maggie just wants a furry friend to love. But on her birthday - the moment she chooses her dream dog - everything falls apart. A rash, hives, trouble breathing… Maggie learns she’s severely allergic to animals with fur.
Her perfect plan? Gone.
Now Maggie must find a new way to belong - whether that means discovering a pet she can have, building friendships she didn’t see coming, or learning that family is more than who shares your space… it’s who shares your heart.
Why this book deserves a spot on your shelf:
- Heartfelt, colourful illustrations full of emotion
- Realistic struggles with allergies, insecurity and change
- A story about family, friendship and finding your place
