Amanda has an
imaginary friend named Rudger, together they have wonderful adventures. But
when a scary man name Mr Bunting comes after Rudger to eat him, trouble starts
and Amanda is hurt, possibly killed. That’s when Rudger starts to disappear,
but with a little help and new real child to keep him alive in her imagination,
Rudger continues to worry about Amanda, and the continuing danger from Mr.
Bunting. I absolutely did not care for this book. It was dark in a completely depressing and dismal way. The artwork is nightmare inducing and I would never give this book to an elementary student, though I think middle school students would find that imaginary friend plot a bit juvenile. My life was better before I read this book.
