IMAGINE...

Leaving your house in the middle of the night.
Knowing your mother is doing her best, but she's just as scared as you.

IMAGINE...

Starting a new school, making friends.
Seeing how happy it makes your mother.
Hearing a voice, calling out to you.

IMAGINE...

Following the signs, into the woods.
Going missing for six days.
Remembering nothing about what happened.

IMAGINE...

Something that will change everything...
And having to save everyone you love.

'Unputdownable ... You'll fall in love with these characters. That's why they stay with you, like a haunting.'
R. J. PALACIO, author of WONDER

'An extraordinary book. The pages practically turn themselves.'
GREER HENDRICKS & SARAH PEKKANEN, authors of THE WIFE BETWEEN US

'
A fearsome, remarkably ambitious novel that breaks through the boundaries of the genre to become epic - in all the best senses of the word."
LINCOLN CHILD, #1 New York Times bestseller

'
A simply extraordinary reading experience. Utterly unique. A tremendous read, every bit worth the wait.'

Woah.. closing the last page of this book #imaginaryfriend published by @grandcentralpub left me with a shiver crawling up my arms. Gloriously terrifying and PERFECT for a scary October read. I very much enjoyed how #stephenchbosky really developed the characters and gave them life, which often times is neglected in horror/thriller novels. I also appreciated how he keep it scary and gory without becoming grotesque. Once that line is crossed a story becomes less thrilling and just disgusting. Mr. Chbosky balanced his writing perfectly and left me wanting more!!
P.S. I'll never look at a treehouse the same way!
