IMAGINARY FRED Hardcover

Imaginary Fred, by Eoin Colfer and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers, tells the enchanting story of Fred, a loyal imaginary friend who appears when a lonely child wishes for him. Fred loves his purpose, playing countless games and sharing secrets, but there's a bittersweet truth to his existence: when his human friend eventually finds a "real" friend, Fred fades away, waiting to be wished into being again. This poignant cycle continues until he meets Sam, a quiet, creative boy who becomes the perfect companion. But when Sam makes a new real-world friend, Fred fears he'll vanish forever, leading to a surprising twist that celebrates the ever-evolving nature of friendship, whether real or imaginary.
