The Imaginary by A.F. Harrold
4.0
This is a charming middle grade tale about a boy named Rudger who was imagined by a little girl named Amanda. After Amanda gets hurt and forgets him, the imagined boy meets other imagined creatures who want to help him find a new real friend. Rudger, however, is determined to get Amanda back.
I'll probably forget aboutThe Imaginary in a few years, but I did enjoy reading it. The pictures are mostly in black and white, but the splashes of color give the book some extra personality. It's wittiness and whimiscal-realism reminded me of Roald Dahl... and although I wouldn't say Mr. Harold is even close to Dahl's level, he can definitely imitate him in a way that should appeal to 21st century kiddos.
