Synopsis

Decir lo que sentimos puede cambiar el rumbo de nuestras vidas. Jackson y su familia están atravesando un momento duro. No tienen dinero para pagar el alquiler. Tampoco abunda la comida. Tal vez, él, sus padres, su hermanita y su perra deban volver a vivir en la minivan. Cuando las cosas parecen ponerse realmente mal, Jackson recibe una visita inesperada: Crenshaw, su amigo imaginario. Aun cuando él se resiste a creer en esas cosas, Crenshaw parece estar dispuesto a ayudarlo. żA qué? A hacer eso que le es tan difícil: expresar lo que siente.

About this title

Review

"Paints a convincing and compassionate portrait of a social class--the working poor--underrepresented in children's books." --"The Horn Book, starred review"

This accessible and moving novel demonstrates how the creative resilience of a child's mind can soften difficult situations, while exploring the intersection of imagination and truth. "Publishers Weekly," starred review

The tone is warm and, occasionally, quirkily funny, but it doesn't sugarcoat the effects of hunger and vulnerability. This novel adds a middle-grade perspective 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"
