I must admit, I was intrigued when I first heard about Pingo.  All I knew was that it was about a boy who stops believing in his imaginary friend – and so the imaginary friend goes rogue.

That’s right.  He becomes an imaginary enemy.

I finally checked it out at the library last week, and I love it.  Brandon Mull can tell them long or short – either way, he’s very good at what he does.  The illustrator did a very nice job, too.  The pictures are amazing.

If you have a kid; if you know a kid; if you are a kid; if you like kids – you have to read this.

It’s just that good.
