Because when anyone could be a whatnot, what makes a person a real friend--or real at all?.
This middle grade thriller from Margaret Peterson Haddix delves into the power of privilege, the importance of true friendship, and the question of humanity and identity.
Because Josie wasn\'t supposed to be real.
But there are forces trying to keep Max and Josie from ever seeing each other again.
But why would Max ever think that Josie wasn\'t real? And what are whatnots? As Max sets to uncover what happened to Josie--and what she is or isn\'t--little does he know that she\'s fighting to find him again, too.
Until the summer after fifth grade, when Josie disappears, leaving only a note, and whispering something about whatnot rules.
Ever since they met in kindergarten, Max and Josie have been inseparable.
But why she wrote it--and what it means--remains a mystery.
He\'d know her handwriting anywhere.
He knows that his best friend, Josie, wrote it.
That\'s what the note says that Max finds under his keyboard.
No matter what anyone tells you, I\'m real.
