WINNER OF CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE YEAR, IRISH BOOK AWARDS. 

An extraordinary collaboration between Irish Children's Laureate, Eoin Colfer, and picture book superstar, Oliver Jeffers! Sometimes, with a little electricity, or luck, or even magic, an imaginary friend might appear when you need one. An imaginary friend like Fred... Fred floated like a feather in the wind until a lonely little boy wished for him and found a friendship like no other. The perfect chemistry between Eoin Colfer's text and Oliver Jeffer's artwork make for a dazzlingly original colour gift book.

Reviews for Imaginary Fred

The first collaboration from two children's books superstars (it also marks Colfer's picture book debut) is a quirky and comical delight, bursting with warmth and wit. Bookseller Jeffers's spidery vignettes are perfectly synced to Colfer's bubbly, confiding narrative. Publishers Weekly [USA]
