<p><strong>What if your imaginary friend from childhood suddenly reappeared . . . only this time he&rsquo;s no figment of your imagination.</strong></p><p></p><p>Charlie, a budding acrobat, is desperate to attend a gymnastics camp that will qualify her for a spot in the renowned travelling circus Circo Circo. But her mom can barely make ends meet and Charlie knows she must find a way to earn the money on her own.</p><p>The solution seems to come when the perfect gymnastics partner mysteriously appears and they can put on shows. There&rsquo;s just one small thing though . . . this perfect partner is someone Charlie knows well. He&rsquo;s Rudy, her imaginary childhood friend &mdash; only this time he&rsquo;s real. The problem with imaginary friends is that they know things about you . . . things that can jeopardize not only Charlie&rsquo;s acrobatic dreams, but also threaten to tear her family even farther apart.</p><p>This truthful and often funny story is the mark of a rising new voice in Canadian children&rsquo;s literature, and a moving exploration of how to reconcile memory, family, forgiveness and the search for belonging.</p>
