Description
Did you know there was a School for Imaginary Friends? Well there is - and one of its star pupils is the narrator of Ray's story.
Ray loves life in his village, until one day he hears his parents talking about moving house. Horrified by the idea, Ray invents an imaginary friend to talk to and even runs away. Eventually Ray is able to accept the move, and also the Ukrainian refugee mother and child who come to live with his family in their new home.
As Ray finds his feet again, the Imaginary Friend wonders if he is needed any more, or if he can also move on?
