Like many children, Amanda has an imaginary friend in whom
she confides and with whom she hangs out. His name is Rudger and in her heart Amanda
knows of course he doesn’t exist. Then one day a sinister man, Mr Bunting,
comes knocking at the door looking for Rudger and Rudger is forced to run for
his (non existent) life. In places the story is quite spooky and scary. There is a lot to ponder over in this handsomely
produced book which would read aloud well. Both writer and illustrator lead colourful lives and it is
well worth looking up the details through Google.

Help! I seem to have no control on this Blog on the way postings turn out! For several days all works well then suddenly we revert to having unsightly gaps in the bibliographic details and for all my going back to the edit mode it remains like that. The Blog doesn't seem to have a manual... Barbara M
