Nobody Real | Steven Camden
2 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
The stunningly original new YA novel from renowned spoken-word poet Steven Camden - with a dash of Inception and a bit of Jennifer Niven, this is the story of a teen girl and her imaginary friend, and we guarantee you have never read anything like it... Marcie is at a crossroads. Finished with school, but unsure what she wants to do next. Abandoned by her mother when she was tiny - but drifting further and further from her dad. Marcie is real. With real problems. Thor is at a crossroads too. Soon, if he doesn't make a decision, he's going to face the fade. Years ago, he was Marcie's imaginary friend - then she cast him out, back to his own world. Thor is not real. And that's a real problem... But Marcie and Thor need each other. And to fix their lives, they're going to have to destroy everything... and then build a new world.

Steve's writing is accessible, thought-provoking, amusing, wistful and pining but rooted in the reality of typical, believable human behaviour.

I don‘t say that I‘ve read beautiful books or stories much. But this is truly a stunning absolutely beautiful piece of writing. I LOVED it. I never had an imaginary friend growing up but this book made me wish I did. It‘s stunning in it‘s capture of real struggles and eloquently weaves those with an imaginary world that hurts as much as reality. I don‘t re-read many books but I suspect I will re-read this.
