Moone Boy: The Blunder Years by Nick V. Murphy, Chris O'Dowd
3.0

 Like with the TV series, I have no idea who this book is for. Definitely not in the kids section where I found it, as there is a decent amount of swearing and the main character being totally okay with letting another kid touch his sister's boobs in order to get protection from bullies. That I could have done without.

Nor could I see a teenager reading it, as it's a bit too juvenile and deals with imaginary friends. It's kind of baffling.

Now there were some things I liked about it, mainly that Martin's imaginary friend is more of someone he can talk to rather than someone he can go on wacky adventures with. That was something a little more original.
