Description
The heart-warming new story about family and friendships from Newbery Medal-winner Katherine Applegate.
Life is tough for ten-year-old Jackson. The landlord is often at the door, there’s not much food in the fridge, and he’s worried that any day now the family will have to move out of their home. Again.
Crenshaw is a cat. He’s large, he’s outspoken, and he’s imaginary. He’s come back into Jackson’s life to help him, but is an imaginary friend enough to save this family from losing everything?
A heart-warming story about family and friendships from Newbery Medal winner Katherine Applegate.
