The Imaginary is the kind of book that I wish I'd written, or at least had the talent to write. It is a beautiful, funny, heartbreaking tale of adventure, love and loss. The story orbits around Amanda, her imaginary friend Rudger and how they try and foil the wicked Mr Bunting. The rather too talented AF Harrold manages to punch through the wall that seperates the real world from the dream world and create a landscape both familiar and nightmarish in equal measures. Did I mention that the book is also as funny as hell? Well, it is. You should read it.
