About the Book

Imagine a Friend is an all-ages low fantasy novella by Emmy Award winner David Quantick, with cover art by Kim Herbst.


Imagine a Friend is a story about happiness, friendship… and being invisible to the person you love most.

When Louie met Marcie, he knew they’d be friends for the rest of their lives. But he was only half right.

What do you do when your best friend can’t see you any more?

Like, literally.

And what do you do when your friend isn’t there for you – because one of you isn’t anywhere at all?
