An extraordinary tale of love, loss, imagination and not really being there, for fans of Roald Dahl and Neil Gaiman.
Rudger is Amanda’s best friend. He doesn't exist, but nobody's perfect.
Only Amanda can see her imaginary friend – until the sinister Mr Bunting arrives at Amanda's door. Mr Bunting hunts imaginaries. Rumour says that he eats them. And he's sniffed out Rudger. Soon Rudger is alone, and running for his imaginary life. But can a boy who isn’t there survive without a friend to dream him up?
A brilliantly funny, scary and moving read from the unique imagination of A.F. Harrold.©2015 A.F. Harrold (P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic Reviews
A richly visualised story which explores imaginary friends and the very special role they play in children’s lives. Emily Gravett’s illustrations capture the hazy world of the imaginaries brilliantly
A.F. Harrold writes with a very distinctive, unusual and utterly charming voice in this warm and funny tale ... Fabulous (Jeremy Strong)
By turns scary and funny, touching without being sentimental, and beautifully illustrated by Emily Gravett, The Imaginary is a delight from start to finish. (James Lovegrove)
