Jacques Papier is sure he would have a complex if it weren't for his sister, Fleur. Nobody ever seems to notice him. He isn't picked for games or called on by teachers, and Fleur has to speak for him at home.
When Jacques finds out, quite by accident that he is not Fleur's brother, but her imaginary friend, he is devastated. He convinces Fleur to let him go, and then the disturbing part starts.
This is a pretty good book, but I'm not sure who it's aimed at. My personal imaginary friend was gone before I hit kindergarten. How many kids will identify? Plus, the imagery of what happens to Jacques when he's cut off from the world is, frankly, terrifying.
It's a strange book, is what I'm saying.
