Dodger and me

Miserable because his only friend moved away and he has once again caused his baseball team to lose a game, fifth-grader Willy Ryan's life suddenly becomes a lot more interesting when he finds Dodger, a furry, blue chimpanzee that only he can see, and he has to decide what he really wishes for in life.

A school project helps fifth-grader Willie, his friend Elizabeth, and even his meddlesome younger sister Amy, aided by the irrepressible genie Dodger, save the local forest from ruthless developers.
