Макс Дилэйни не одинок. У него есть друг Будо. Правда, Будо — воображаемый друг, только Макс может его видеть и с ним общаться. Мало кто об этом знает, но у большинства детей есть такие воображаемые друзья, они присматривают за своими подопечными вплоть до того момента, когда ребенок перестает их воображать. Тогда они исчезают. Но друг Макса — особенный, он задержался рядом с Максом дольше обычного, и, когда случилось несчастье, он единственный, кто приходит на помощь другу. Ведь для друга нельзя жалеть ничего, даже жизни.

My name is Budo. I have been alive for 5 years. 5 years is a very long time for someone like me to be alive. Max gave me my name. Max is 8 years old. He is the only human person who can see me. I know what Max knows, and some things he doesn't. I know that Max is in danger. And I know that I am the only one who can save him.

Imaginary friend Budo narrates this heartwarming story of love, loyalty, and the power of the imagination—the perfect read for anyone who has ever had a friend . . . real or otherwise. Budo is lucky as imaginary friends go. He's been alive for more than five years, which is positively ancient in the world of imaginary friends. But Budo feels his age, and thinks constantly of the day when eight-year-old Max Delaney will stop believing in him. When that happens, Budo will disappear. 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…
