Rudger appears to be Amanda's only friend. However, he doesn't exist, but nobody is perfect.
The inseparable pair soon realize that only Amanda can see her Imaginary Friend, or so they think until they meet a mysterious stranger, Mr. Bunting, hunts imaginaries. Rumors say that he eats them, and he's sniffed out Rudger.
Soon Rudger is alone and grasping onto his quickly fading life. Can a boy who is invisible to the world and everyone around him make a difference and find his purpose in life before he fades away?
First published in the UK by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC.
