Goodreads finalist 2012 as voted by over 1 million readers

My name is BUDO.

I have been alive for 5 years.

5 years is a very long time for someone like me to be alive.

MAX gave me my name. Max is 8 years old.

He is the only human person who can see me.

I know what Max knows, and some things he doesn't.

I know that Max is in danger.

And I know that I am the only one who can save him.
