Publisher Description
Matthew's parents are worried. At eleven, he's much too old to have an imaginary friend, yet they find him talking to and arguing with a presence that even he admits is not physically there. This presence - Chocky - causes Matthew to ask difficult questions and say startling things: he speaks of complex mathematics and mocks human progress. Then, when Matthew does something incredible, it seems there is more than the imaginary about Chocky. Which is when others become interested and ask questions of their own: who is Chocky? And what could it want with an eleven-year-old boy?
A story of innocence and alien contact, Chocky is a sinister tale of manipulation and experimentation from afar.
Customer Reviews
Chocky, by John Wyndham
Do not buy this edition as the last page is missing, completely ruining the story.
An excellent, thoughtful story as are all of Wyndham’s others. Not as much action as some but should be part of a collection. Readers must check for the presence of the final page (a graphic) which seems to slip through the digitising process.
