³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

12-year-old Matthew Gore sparks concern for his parents when he appears to develop an intelligent, persistent imaginary friend whom he calls Chocky.

As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that, far from being imaginary, Chocky is a very real alien intelligence.

But then Matthew comes to the attention of sinister government forces...

First published in Amazing Stories magazine in 1963, John Wyndham developed his story into a full sci-fi novel five years later.
