Synopsis
People used to call them 'friends' and said how they were good for your brain. And then a day came when all that changed . . . when they became our enemy.
Now, anyone found harbouring a rogue imaginary person is in for the Cosh, an operation that fries your imagination and zaps whatever's in there, out of existence.
That's why I wish Klaris Cliff had never shown up. And why I know that proving her innocence is the last hope I have of saving myself.
Funny, quirky, and intriguing. This is a gripping read.

What Reviewers Are Saying
An intriguing subject for a children's novel and one handled with invention in Nikki Sheehan's debut novel... the book has pertinent things to say about the need for imagination in the modern world... revealing and touching. * Martin Chilton, The Telegraph * This is a remarkably engaging, original and moving debut novel, posing important questions about imagination, isolation and grief, yet the author handles her material with such a witty, light touch... I loved it. * Sally Morris, The Daily Mail * A rather clever idea, deftly executed. * Herald Scotland * Sheehan's book is as thought-provoking as it is moving. * Eleanor Tucker, The Guardian * It teaches you to fight for what you believe in and not give up. * Becky Allen, Booktuation (Blog) * A very poignant and thought-provoking read * Fiona Bradbury, Books and Enchantment * Read this book if you like quirky, unusual novels. * Bookworm 1408 (reader review), The Guardian * This is a remarkably engaging, original and moving debut novel... If Sheehan has more of this quality to offer, she'll be an exciting novelist for the future. I loved it. * Sally Morris, Daily Mail * This is a warm, amusing and enthusiastic book with some thoughtful overtones. Strongly recommended. * Martin Axford, The School Librarian * The storyline was surprising and interesting; I felt involved throughout. * Teen Titles *
