Scotch Tape Handband - one-handed wrapping.Totally over the head of my 5 year old, but great to share with older children, or for independent readers to read alone, The Imaginary is published by Bloomsbury Publishing and has an rrp of £12.99 hardback and £7.99 paperback or eBook. It just opens the way for discussion.Ī lovely book which we have thoroughly enjoyed reviewing. Don't let that put you off, this is a children's book and it does not end in carnage, I promise.

It's my opinion children are better to consider what 'death' and loss mean in a very controlled and subtle way, preferably before they have to face it in real life. The storyline is a little dark in places, and actually I don't see that as a bad thing. I've also very much enjoyed the storyline - and if I'm honest was rarely sure where it was going, so I was held in suspense just as much as my son!. In fact he's found it a delight to read, and we've read it together at bedtime. My 7 year old is a very competent reader and has a good vocabulary, so it was his choice to review The Imaginary, which we knew might be a difficult book as it is recommended for age 8+.
