Little Dot Dotland #23

In "The Dotted Cloth," Dot stumbles upon a curious magic-spotted cloth at an auction, only to watch in amazement as it stretches and shrinks in impossible ways—before vanishing entirely. Now she’s left wondering if it was real at all, unaware that the cloth once belonged to a witch whose magic still lingers in the quiet corners of Dotland.

In "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone," Dot accidentally activates her Uncle’s latest invention—a device that makes her invisible—and soon finds herself eavesdropping on her friends’ conversations. What starts as a harmless prank quickly turns awkward when she hears them criticizing someone named Dot, only to realize each time they’re talking about a different girl entirely.

In "Uncle Touchy," Dot tries to help her friend Lotta keep her uncle company, but the job isn’t easy—her uncle’s work defusing bombs has left him twitchy and on edge, making every moment a test of patience and quiet.

In "Shadowed," young Richie sets off on a hike through the wilds of the Rich estate, unaware that his father has sent Cadbury to keep an eye on him—though Richie isn’t fooled. The story quietly builds tension as the boy navigates the woods, acutely aware of the unseen presence trailing him.
