There used to be an empty chair at the back of my class, but now a new boy called Ahmet is sitting in it. He's nine years old (just like me), but he's very strange. He never talks and never smiles and doesn't like sweets - not even lemon sherbets, which are my favourite! But the truth is, Ahmet really isn't very strange at all. He's a refugee who's run away from a war. A real one. With bombs and fires and bullies that hurt people. And the more I find out about him, the more I want to be his friend.

Summary

The first book in the darkly comic new Skeleton Keys series from the award-winning duo behind Stitch Head.
Greetings! My name is Skeleton Keys, and these fantabulant fingers of mine can open doors to hidden worlds.... Join me for the curious tale of Ben Bunsen, whose only friend is a figment of his imagination...until now.
Ben can’t believe it when his imaginary friend, the Gorblimey, becomes unimaginary. The Gorblimey is loyal and kind...and real! But Skeleton Keys is far from convinced by the Gorblimey’s friendly ways. He’s got the twitch, which is (almost) never wrong, and it’s telling him the Gorblimey is dangerous and needs banishing to the endless void of Oblivion.
As Ben battles to save his new friend, the Gorblimey is soon the least of Skeleton Keys’ worries. It seems that there’s more than one unimaginary in town. And this one is out for revenge....
