My Favourite Books of 2012, Sandy Cooper

Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend

My favorite read off the list this past Fall was Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend by Matthew Dicks. It intrigued me from the beginning, because when I was a child I had two imaginary friends. I think the idea is original, a hard thing to be these days. Seeing the life of a small boy through the eyes of his own special imaginary friend is a unique place to observe this child’s life from.

A friend who is watchful and caring, but is also scared of dying (being unneeded and forgotten and therefore no longer imagined). There are very funny, touching and suspenseful moments throughout the book. I couldn’t put it down and when I passed the reading copy along to a teacher friend of mine…well…let’s just say the value of this particular ARC has been maxed out.
