Whenever a lonely child wishes for an imaginary friend, Fred appears. Though they always play -- some nicely, some not -- for awhile, each child eventually finds real friends and leaves Fred behind. But Fred's latest pal, Sam, is different; he likes acting and music and comic books, just like Fred. Could Sam be the forever friend Fred's been waiting for? Whimsical and minimally colored, this book from popular creators Eoin Colfer and Oliver Jeffers will resonate with readers (young and old) who know that keeping friends is just as important as making them. For another eager soul in search of a companion, try Mac Barnett's Leo. Picture books newsletter November 2015.
