From the internationally bestselling author Eoin Colfer and the New York Times Bestselling illustrator of The Day the Crayons Quit comes a quirky, funny, and utterly irresistible story. Did you know that 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 Sam, a lonely little boy, wished for him and, together, they found a friendship like no other. The perfect chemistry between Eoin Colfer’s text and Oliver Jeffers’s artwork makes for a dazzlingly original picture book.
Eoin Colfer is the bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series, which is soon to be filmed. He has also written And Another Thing, a sequel to Douglas Adams’s Hitch-hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Eoin was the Children’s Laureate of Ireland from 2014-2016. P.J. Lynch is widely regarded as Ireland’s finest illustrator, and is the current Children’s Laureate of Ireland. He has won the Mother Goose award and the Kate Greenaway Medal (twice).

Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, Oliver now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and young son.
