At the Guardian, Bruce tagged ten top books about imaginary friends, including:

The Boy Who Could See Demons by Carolyn Jess-Cooke

Child psychiatrist Anya Molokova meets 10-year-old Alex after his mother’s fifth suicide attempt. Alex is a normal boy, but his best friend, Ruen, is a 9,000-year-old, shape-shifting demon. Anya naturally assumes that Alex is mentally unwell, but during the course of his treatment, Alex tells her things he could not possibly know. The novel courts the supernatural without ever losing its grip on reality, which is part of what makes it so enticing.
