Illustrated by
Oliver Jeffers.
Fred, an imaginary friend, loves spending time with the lonely kids who wish for him--until each meets a "real friend" and poor Fred fades away. Then Fred meets Sam and begins an unusual friendship in which the rules change. Jeffers's delicate ink drawings and Colfer's lighthearted but sensitive tone are a perfect match in this quirky tale about friendship and growing up.
