What to do when you're the perpetual new kid, only child, military brat hustling school-to-school each year and everyone's looking to you for answers? Make some shit up, of course! And a young Jay Ellis does just that, with help from every child's favorite co-conspirator-their imaginary best friend. Mikey, his imaginary best friend, steps in to figuratively hold Jay's hand through various youthful shenanigans. This book is a story of a 90s kid who confided in his imaginary sidekick to navigate everything from parallel pop culture universes to a lifetime of birthday disappointment and hoop dreams gone bad. Mikey also guides him through greater tragedies, like losing his teenage cousin in a mistaken-target driveby. As imaginary friend morphs into adult consciousness, Ellis charts an unforgettable story of looking within yourself for guidance to some of life's biggest (and smallest) challenges.
