Everybody has an imaginary friend. Even those who do not know about it. He is the one whom we bother in our quiet rooms with questions sotto voce, the one who keeps us strong and who takes the blame for us, he is the one who always keeps talking in our heads when we are alone. But how does he see us? Or our parents? What does he feel when he first has a rival in the shape of a real friend?
The Author of Mother and the Ginns plays with these questions in her absurd and sassy story selected in the IBBY Honour List in 2018.
From the age of 10
