4 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
Did you know that if the conditions are just right, and if you add a little electricity, or magic, or luck, that an imaginary friend might appear just when you need one? An imaginary friend like . . . Fred. Fred is the best imaginary friend you could ever hope for, but no matter how hard he tries, the same thing always happens: his friend finds a real friend in the real world, and Fred fades away, bit by bit, waiting to be wished for again . . . Then one day, a boy called Sam wishes for a friend, and Fred appears! For a while, everything is perfect. But what about the day when Sam finds a real friend? Could it be that this time, something magical might happen . . . ? Imaginary Fred is a quirky, funny, utterly irresistible story from a bestselling dream team.

This is a lovely story, but way way way way too long. I think it would have been better as a short chapter book.

Sweet and quirky. I love good stories about imaginary friends, since I had them when I was young (Mona and Peter. They lived in my stomach and eventually moved to Panama City), and 2 of my 5 kids have, as well. Meghan had Coco Baby, a mouse who drove a train, and Sam had John and Bo, who were boys his own age. I like to think that, like Fred and Frieda, they found each other and are now friends themselves. Intergenerational imaginary friends. :)

Fred is the best imaginary friend you could have - he‘s kind and helpful and never complains. His one wish is to find someone who needs him and won‘t forget him, won‘t let him fade away. When Sam wishes him up, they become the best of friends - could this be the friend he‘s been waiting for? This was a beautiful little read - perfect for those who had their own special imaginary friend in their lives.
