Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend by Matthew Dicks
Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend by Matthew Dicks Budo is Max’s imaginary friend. He looks like a real person, unlike most imaginary friends, and he is the oldest imaginary friend, at 5 years old, that he knows of. That’s because Max is different and he needs a friend like Budo. Max doesn’t have any friends. He doesn’t talk a lot, look people in the eye, understand sarcasm or many social cues. But he understands Budo. When Max leaves with Mrs. Patterson, one of the teachers that works with Max in the Learning Center at his school, Budo is the one who has to save him because no one else knows the truth behind Max’s disappearance at school. Budo knows Max is alive because he, Budo, still exists. But he doesn’t know what will happen once he rescues Max. Max may not need Budo anymore and if he doesn’t then Budo will disappear, like all imaginary friends must, when their friend no longer believes. That’s a risk Budo will take to save his imaginary friend. Memoirs o
