'The Imaginary' by AF Harrold+Emily Gravett is a thought provoking read charming, poignant, funny and scary all at the same time. Amanda has an imaginary friend...
She's a very imaginative, creative child and together with her friend they share lots of adventures. BUT, there is somebody who would like to wipe out imaginary friends. The book is really interesting because it's dark and light. Reading it raises lots of questions, gives lots of ideas for discussion-loyalty, right and wrong, what is a friend, growing up, loss. It really is a multi layered book. I think it would be great to read from 8+. It's a really lovely one for bed time reading or reading to your class and I think could give you much potential for an in depth topic for a term. Be warned it's one of those need to read at once books-I started last night and finished it this morning (it took my mind off the end of term cold lurgy).
