A glorious picture book story all about one boy, one imaginary friend named Kevin, and one very special friendship... from the creative genius behind the #DrawWithRob phenomenon and the bestselling and award-winning Blown Away! Uh-oh - Sid Gibbons is in trouble again! Time to think fast... When Sid makes yet another mess, and his mum is at the end of her patience, Sid does what every quick-thinking kid would do - he blames it on his big, furry, vanilla-and-pink friend Kevin! And while it seemed like a good idea at the time, Sid gets an unexpected surprise when he finds out that Kevin and his world might not be so imaginary after all - and while his friend might be make-believe, his feelings are very real. From the bestselling and multi-award-winnning Rob Biddulph, creator of the internet phenomenon Draw With Rob. As seen on YouTube, FaceBook, Instagram, CBeebies and TV news everywhere, and the Waterstones Book Prize-winning Blown Away!!
