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

Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky is a gripping novel centred on seven-year-old Christopher Reese, who has already faced significant challenges in his young life and is about to encounter even more.

His mother, Kate Reese, has dedicated herself to protecting Christopher, a task that will demand more from her than she ever anticipated.

The Reeses have moved to Mill Grove, Pennsylvania, an ordinary and secluded town that seems perfect for the events about to unfold.

Something inexplicable and profound is on the horizon, affecting everyone, from Christopher and his mother to the local sheriff, the residents of the retirement home, and the students at the school.

It is an occurrence no one can adequately explain, but its effects are palpable and will forever alter the community.

'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
