Review of 'The Imaginary Friends and the Box of Desires' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I think I can sum up this review by saying this was a delightful sequel that picked up where the first book left off. Simon and his village returns to fight monsters once more, with a very familiar face making a welcome return.

A wonderful book, a wonderful read & I recommend checking it out if you enjoyed the first one in the series. :D
