Editor's Note
When her childhood best friend dies in a car accident, leaving an orphaned seven-year-old son, a New Jersey woman takes the child into her home. What she doesn't expect is that he's also bringing along a friend--an imaginary French guardian angel.
Plot Summary
After the death of his mother, 7-year-old Albert is sent to live with his godmother Harriet. The overworked Harriet is VERY reluctant to take the boy in, and has trouble bonding with him. However, Albert does relate to his large, French imaginary friend named Bogus, who helps Albert cope with the traumas in his young life. But can Bogus bridge the gap between Harriet and Albert?
