An extraordinary tale of love, loss, imagination and not really being there, for fans of Roald Dahl and Neil Gaiman. Coming to Netflix as an animated feature film in July 2024.

Rudger is Amandaâs best friend. He doesn''t exist, but nobody''s perfect.

Only Amanda can see her imaginary friend â" 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 isnât there survive without a friend to dream him up?

A brilliantly funny, scary and moving read from the unique imagination of A.F. Harrold, this beautiful book is astoundingly illustrated with integrated art and colour spreads by the award-winning Emily Gravett.
