Perfect for Neil Gaiman and Roald Dahl fans, this fully illustrated
journey into the secret world of imaginary friends is quirky, dark, and
utterly irresistible.
Rudger is Amanda Shuffleup's imaginary friend. Nobody else can see
Rudger--until the evil Mr. Bunting arrives at Amanda's door. Mr. Bunting
hunts imaginaries. Rumor has it that he even eats them. And now he's
found Rudger.
Soon Rudger is alone, and running for his imaginary life. He needs to
find Amanda before Mr. Bunting catches him--and before Amanda forgets
him and he fades away to nothing. But how can an unreal boy stand alone
in the real world?
In the vein of Coraline, this gripping take on imaginary friends comes
to life in a lush package: beautiful illustrations (10 in full color) by
acclaimed artist Emily Gravett, a foiled and debossed case cover,
printed endpapers, and deckled page edges.
