Summary

Rudger is Amanda's best friend. He doesn't exist, but nobody's perfect. Only Amanda can see her imaginary friend - until the sinister Mr. Bunting arrives at Amanda's door. Mr. Bunting hunts imaginaries. Rumour says that he eats them. And he's sniffed out Rudger. Soon Rudger is alone, and running for his imaginary life. But can a boy who isn't there survive without a friend to dream him up? A brilliantly funny, scary, and moving listen from the unique imagination of A.F. Harrold.

A Very Sweet Story

I chose to start with the audible before I will watch the film and can say it a really sweet children's book I really like that we are focusing on imaginary friend in story more than the person who is seeing him most book mainly focus on the person who is seeing him and not the other way around I also like than there are other imaginary Friends who can see either other and it has it own society where imaginary have to go to work and the villain was very well made to the characters where all sweet and the story was short and fun 😊 definitely recommend you buy and read this to your children

By my seven year old

She said give it loads of stars. She said this is a different sort of story. A bit scary but overall great. For everybody to listen to- even adults.
