I've had Imaginary Friends on my mind, so when I saw this for free, I snatched it up.
It's a short story, only nine pages long, but it sticks in your heart, and may even bring tears to your eyes. The main character is a girl named Samantha, who has been friends with a girl named Tracy for as long as she could remember. In fact, her earliest memory is meeting a shy Tracy on the bus and saying hello.
However, lately, Tracy has been ignoring Samantha more and more and spending more and more time with...more

At some point in our lives most of us have someone we call our bff (best friend forever.) But how long does forever really last? As we grow older, what happens to our bff? Perhaps some friends are just that: bff. Perhaps others are bff only for a time.
In Author Kelly Hashway’s short story for children (and adults who are still children at heart), THE IMAGINARY FRIEND, Samantha and Tracy once were bff. Tracy has changed though and now she’s hanging out with girls from school and doesn‘t even act...more

If you are looking for a short story to share with kids The Imaginary Friend is a great choice. A short and sweet story about an imaginary friend who doesn’t know she is not real.
Samantha is sad because Tracy has made new friends and doesn’t want to play with her anymore, what she Samantha doesn’t know is that she is an imaginary friend. Jessica comes to help her move on and they travel to The Land of Imagination.

Like many kids, I had an imaginary friend, but never thought about what happened to him when I abandoned him. (Yes, *him* - I liked playing with boys as a child, and haven't outgrown it.) This delightful short piece takes a look at how s/he must feel when that occurs - and what happens next.
It's very well written and the characters are very believable. Would recommend to any young person (or parent of same) going through that period of change and growth.

Sam is Tracy's imaginary friend, but when Tracy gets real friends, Sam is no longer needed. Sam is heartbroken so Jessica, another imaginary person, informs her of the ins and outs of being an imaginary friend and the purpose of the Land of Imagination. Another little girl will come along and need Sam as her imaginary friend, but Sam isn’t sure if she’s ready for a new girl yet. This is a sweet and touching tale about friendships both real and imaginary.
This short story e-book was recommended to me by one of my students. The story revolves around the idea of childhood imaginary friends: how are they created and what happens to them when we no longer need them. Charming and kid-friendly, this story provides fodder for longer works and has great potential as a story prompt for a writing class. I would like to see Ms. Hashway expand on this idea and flesh it out into a book.
It's amazing how much story you get from nine small pages. Kelly Hashway manages to write a short story with more depth than most people can do in an entire novel. It's exactly as the title states, about an imaginary friend. This book is from the perspective of the imaginary friend. Whether you you've had one or not, carve out some time for this book.
Sam doesn't know she's an imaginary friend. It comes as a shock when Jessica comes to take her to Imaginary Land. This is a fun short story that just made me smile.
This was a very cute short story. I think it'd be ideal to read to young children or even for adults to read. It brought a smile to my face and I'm in my 20's.
the reason why I read this book is because I have a imaginary friend of mine on.
