Book Synopsis



In her first novel since The One and Only Ivan, winner of the Newbery Medal, Katherine Applegate delivers an unforgettable and magical story about family, friendship, and resilience.

Jackson and his family have fallen on hard times. There's no more money for rent. And not much for food, either. His parents, his little sister, and their dog may have to live in their minivan. Again.

Crenshaw is a cat. He's large, he's outspoken, and he's imaginary. He has come back into Jackson's life to help him. But is an imaginary friend enough to save this family from losing everything?

Beloved author Katherine Applegate proves in unexpected ways that friends matter, whether real or imaginary. This title has Common Core connections.



Review Quotes



A Publishers Weekly Bestseller

"The tone is warm and, occasionally, quirkily funny, but it doesn't sugarcoat the effects of hunger and vulnerability. This novel adds a middle-grade perspective to the literature of imaginary friends and paints a convincing and compassionate portrait of a social class--the working poor--underrepresented in children's books." --The Horn Book, starred review

This accessible and moving novel demonstrates how the creative resilience of a child's mind can soften difficult situations, while exploring the intersection of imagination and truth. --Publishers Weekly, starred review

Children will appreciate this heartbreaking novel...a compelling and unflinchingly honest treatment of a difficult topic. --School Library Journal, starred review

...a quick read that encourages people of all ages to be honest with one another and value family and friends (real and imaginary!) --Booklist

Great Summer Read

I bought this book, along with a few others to keep my daughter's reading skills up throughout summer. She loves this story, and had a hard time putting the book down.
