movie vs book
Adam Egypt Mortimer, 2019
As a child, shy and troubled Luke witnesses the aftermath of a mass shooting at a neighborhood coffee shop. He meets another boy among the onlookers at the scene: cool and confident Daniel, who invites him to play and quickly becomes his friend. Although adults such as Luke’s mother, Claire, cannot see Daniel, he appears physically real to Luke.
