A TIME magazine Top 10 Children's Book of 2015!
The whimsical autobiography of an imaginary friend who doesn't know
he's imaginary--perfect for fans of The Miraculous Journey of Edward
Tulane and Toy Story.
Jacques Papier has the sneaking suspicion that everyone except his
sister Fleur hates him. Teachers ignore him when his hand is raised in
class, he is never chosen for sports teams, and his parents often need
to be reminded to set a place for him at the dinner table. But he is
shocked when he finally learns the truth: He is Fleur's imaginary
friend! When he convinces Fleur to set him free, he begins a surprising
and touching, and always funny quest to find himself--to figure out who
Jacques Papier truly is, and where he belongs.
"A charming story so easy to visualize that it feels like a future
Pixar movie."--The Wall Street Journal
