Who will save Alfie Atkins?

Alfie Atkins is sitting in the apartment where he lives, feeling lonely. He has moved to a new place and doesn’t know the kids who live there. Sometimes, his imaginary friend Malcolm comes by. When they play together, Alfie always gets to decide—like being the train driver when they play trains. The problem is that Malcolm doesn’t show up when he’s really needed, like when the “big boys” chase Alfie and soak his jacket with a water pistol.
