Fiction. Literature. HTML:

Imaginary friend Budo narrates this heartwarming story of love, loyalty, and the power of the imaginationâ??the perfect read for anyone who has ever had a friend . . . real or otherwise.

Budo is lucky as imaginary friends go. He's been alive for more than five years, which is positively ancient in the world of imaginary friends. But Budo feels his age, and thinks constantly of the day when eight-year-old Max Delaney will stop believing in him. When that happens, Budo will disappear.

Max is different from other children. Some people say that he has Asperger's Syndrome, but most just say he's "on the spectrum." None of this matters to Budo, who loves Max and is charged with protecting him from the class bully, from awkward situations in the cafeteria, and even in the bathroom stalls. But he can't protect Max from Mrs. Patterson, the woman who works with Max in the Learning Center and who believes that she alone is qualified to care for this young boy.

When Mrs. Patterson does the unthinkable and kidnaps Max, it is up to Budo and a team of imaginary friends to save himâ??and Budo must ultimately decide which is more important: Max's happiness or Budo's very existence.

Narrated by Budo, a character with a unique ability to have a foot in many worldsâ??imaginary, real, child, and adultâ?? Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend touches on the truths of life, love, and friendship as it races to a heartwarming . . . and heartbreaking conc… (plus d'informations)

A completely original story about an imaginary friend and his human dealing with a complicated and scary problem.

Delightful descriptions of all sorts of imaginary friend characters, believable and likeable main characters and a page turning plot. My favorite of Matthew Dicks books (and I liked all three!)

Finished in one day at the beach.

This one hit me right in the feelers. A few parts were tedious, but the last third of the book made it all worthwhile, and then some. Sweetness.

(And "everyone is someone's devil" is so, so true. That line's a keeper.) ( )

Querido lector:
La novela que tienes en tus manos es especial, como Max.
La novela que tienes en tus manos es única, como Max.
La novela que tienes en tus manos es valiente, como Max.
Max solo tiene 8 años y no es como los demás niños. Él vive para adentro y cuanto menos le molesten, mucho mejor. No le gustan los cambios, las sorpresas, los ruidos, que lo toquen y que le hagan hablar por hablar. Si alguien le preguntara cuándo es más feliz, seguro que diría que jugando con sus legos planeando batallas entre ejércitos enemigos. Max no tiene amigos, porque nadie lo entiende y todos, hasta los profesores y sus propios padres, quieren que sea de otra manera. Solo me tiene a mí, que soy su amigo desde hace cinco años. Ahora sé que Max corre peligro y solo yo lo puedo ayudar. El problema es que Max es el único que puede verme y oír. Tengo mucho miedo por él, pero sobre todo por mí. Los padres de Max dicen que soy un «amigo imaginario». Espero que a estas alturas tengas claro que no soy imaginario.

4.5 stars.
This isn't a story that would have caught my eye with another narrator, but since it's told by an imaginary friend, I figured it was up my alley. I already knew I liked Matthew Dicks; I really enjoyed [b:Something Missing|6280473|Something Missing|Matthew Dicks|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320524133s/6280473.jpg|6464070] when I read it a few years ago. This book was nothing like it but still wonderful. Well-imagined and thoughtful, Dicks took a fanciful idea and gave it both sweetness and depth. I loved these characters, especially Mrs. Gosk.
Not sure I'm completely convinced by the explanation of how Max managed to get himself all the way home without "getting stuck", but I still liked the chase and the rousing ending to the book.
Don't miss it.

Compulsively readable and incredibly moving. The ending made me cry, which doesn't happen very often. ( )
