Staff Pick
Pobby and Dingan are Ashmol's sister Kellyanne's imaginary friends — until one day, they disappear. Ashmol, who not-so-secretly thinks his sister is a fruit loop, copes with Kellyanne's very real grief the one way he knows how: by organizing a town-wide search party for two invisible people. Rarely do I read a book and come away from it feeling like it was a truly magical experience. I may even dare to say that Pobby and Dingan is To Kill a Mockingbird-good — and trust me, this is not a parallel I draw lightly. Suitable for anyone who can read. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This enchanting tale is at once a beautifully rendered narrative of childhood loss and a powerfully simple fable about the necessity of imagination. Pobby and Dingan are Kellyanne Williamsons best friends, maybe her only friends, and only she can see them. Kellyannes brother, Ashmol, cant see them and doesnt believe they exist anywhere but in Kellyannes immature imagination. Only when Pobby and Dingan disappear and Kellyanne becomes heartsick over their loss does Ashmol realize that not only must he believe in Pobby and Dingan, he must convince others to believe in them, too.
