Publisher's summary

In her first novel since winning the Newbery Medal, Katherine Applegate delivers an unforgettable and magical story about family, friendship, and resilience.

Jackson and his family have fallen on hard times. There's no more money for rent, and not much for food, either. His parents, his little sister, and their dog may have to live in their minivan. Again.

Crenshaw is a cat. He's large, he's outspoken, and he's imaginary. He has come back into Jackson's life to help him. But is an imaginary friend enough to save this family from losing everything?

Beloved author Katherine Applegate proves in unexpected ways that friends matter, whether real or imaginary.

Touching

I listened to this story, in preparation for helping my 3rd grader do a literature study on it. It is a very touching story, and brought tears to my eyes several times. I hope he can appreciate it as much as I did.

Crenshaw

Truly delightful! Serious subject with a bit of humor. Having an imaginary friend is ok and there are some families that have a rough time but make the best of it.

Whimsical

Crenshaw is a whimsical tale encompassing hurt, love, friendship & a little magic. It is a sweet story, beautifully written and told. I will listen to this one again.

Wonderful little story

“Enjoy the magic while you can”. Great words to live by! I enjoyed Crenshaw’s wisdom and insight, and how he helped Jackson through difficult times.

This book was wonderful! So many people don't understand how it feels to be so poor a person lives in a car or on the street. How many people go to bed hungry. How hard it is for a parent that cannot provide for their children. This book really puts it into perspective. I think people will be less judgemental after reading this book.
