The Pretend Friend Association: Parts Five to Eight

"So many fears come with being a chronically ill teenager. My most irrational fear was that if I died, my characters would die too."

As a child, Anna Grace immersed herself in an imaginary world. Guided by the nine “Rules of Imagination," she and her brother created hundreds of stories about a fantastic realm, filled with imaginary friends, secret superheroes, talking stuffed animals, flying cars, and parallel universes. When she is diagnosed with a life-threatening disease as a teenager, Anna Grace finds refuge by writing about her world once again.

But two years later, Anna Grace is still far from remission. As her fight drags on and her kidneys begin to fail, she copes by darkening the plot of her fictional stories. The citizens of the Underground City must come to terms with an ever-growing supervillain threat. Even kitten Pepper feels the pressure of the times, and Jobelle Newbrey struggles to cope with her best friend's illnesses.

Based on the author's true story, this book contains the fifth through eighth novellas of The Pretend Friend Association series. Parts Five through Eight were originally published separately as The PFA: Part Five- Journeys, The PFA: Part Six- Battles, The PFA: Part Seven- Heroes, and The PFA: Part Eight- Secrets.
