Description

'Astonishing . . . Genius . . . A masterpiece' EMMA WATSON

Christopher Reese has been through a lot by the age of seven. He will go through much more before he turns eight.

All his mother Kate Reese ever wanted to do is protect him. She will have to do that more than she ever imagined.

Their new home, the town of Mill Grove, Pennsylvania, is sleepy, ordinary, and isolated. In other words: perfect for what is about to happen.

Something that will deeply mark everyone: from Christopher and his mother, to the local sheriff, the residents of the retirement home, and every student at the school.

Something which no one can explain, but everyone can feel. Something that will change everything . . .

'Haunting and thrilling' JOHN GREEN

'Unputdownable. You'll fall in love with these characters.' R. J. PALACIO

'Warms the heart, freezes the blood . . . First class' DAILY TELEGRAPH

Reviews

Sure, this unputdownable book is the scariest thing I've read in a long time. But it's also, like everything Chbosky does, imbued with heart and soul. You'll fall in love with these characters. That's why they stay with you, like a haunting.

Imaginary Friend is a simply extraordinary reading experience. Utterly unique. A tremendous read, every bit worth the wait.

An unputdownable, extraordinary book. The pages practically turn themselves.

Imaginary Friend has been a long time coming. And like a fine Bordeaux, it rewards that wait in countless ways. This is a fearsome, remarkably ambitious novel that breaks through the boundaries of the genre to become epic-in all the best senses of the word.
