I first met my demon the morning that Mum said Dad had gone.
'My name is Alex. I'm ten years old. I like onions on toast and I can balance on the back legs of my chair for fourteen minutes. I can also see demons. My best friend is one. He likes Mozart, table tennis and bread and butter pudding. My mum is sick. Ruen says he can help her. Only Ruen wants me to do something really bad. He wants me to kill someone.'

Alex Connolly is ten years old, he likes onions on toast and his dog called Woof. His best friend is a 9,000-year-old demon called Ruen.
When his depressive mother attempts suicide yet again, Alex is introduced to child psychiatrist Anya. Still bearing the scars of her own daughter's battle with schizophrenia, Anya fears for Alex's mental health and attempts to convince him that Ruen doesn't exist.
But soon strange and alarming coincidences compel Anya to wonder: does Alex suffer from schizophrenia or can he really see demons?

In the same vain as "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime" and "Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend" this book simply demands to be read. The depth with which it deals with child psychosis is simply breath taking and the story is a mixture of heart breaking tragedy and the heart warming goodness and innocence of childhood. This book will take you on an unexpected emotional rollercoaster and keep you gripped to the very last word.
