Max is different from other children. Some people say that he has Asperger?s Syndrome, but most just say he?s ?on the spectrum.? None of this matters to Budo, who loves Max and is charged with protecting him from the class bully, from awkward situations in the cafeteria, and even in the bathroom stalls. But he can?t protect Max from Mrs. Patterson, the woman who works with Max in the Learning Center and who believes that she alone is qualified to care for this young boy.

When Mrs. Patterson does the unthinkable and kidnaps Max, it is up to Budo and a team of imaginary friends to save him?and Budo must ultimately decide which is more important: Max?s happiness or Budo's very existence.

Narrated by Budo, a character with a unique ability to have a foot in many worlds?imaginary, real, child, and adult? Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend touches on the truths of life, love, and friendship as it races to a heartwarming . . . and heartbreaking conclusion.
