Description

In her first novel since winning the Newbery Medal, New York Times bestselling writer Katherine Applegate delivers an unforgettable and magical story about circle of relatives, friendship, and resilience.

Jackson and his circle of relatives have fallen on hard times. There is no more money for rent. And not much for food, either. His parents, his little sister, and their dog may have to live in their minivan. Again.

Crenshaw is a cat. He is large, He is outspoken, and He is imaginary. He has come back into Jackson’s life to lend a hand him. But is an imaginary friend enough to save this circle of relatives from losing the whole thing?

Beloved writer Katherine Applegate proves in unexpected ways that friends matter, whether real or imaginary.

Praise for Crenshaw:

“The tone is warm and, infrequently, quirkily funny, but it doesn’t sugarcoat the effects of hunger and vulnerability. This novel adds a middle-grade point of view to the literature of imaginary friends and paints a convincing and compassionate portrait of a social class―the working poor―underrepresented in children’s books.” ―The Horn Book, starred review

“…a quick read that encourages people of every age to be honest with one another and value friends and family (real and imaginary!)” ―Booklist
