I think that it does handle that situation respectfully and I did end up really enjoying this there were a couple of things though that I didn't love as much I thought that this book focused a lot more on Jackson in the past rather than Jackson in the present

But is an imaginary friend enough to save this family from losing everything? Beloved author Katherine Applegate proves in unexpected ways that friends matter, whether real or imaginary. This title has Common Core connections.
