Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate

      A meaningful story about a boy named Jackson and his family that have fallen on hard times.  Money is tight and they may have to move again.  Jackson takes on so much of the worry that his old friend Crenshaw the cat comes back to visit him.  The only problem is that Crenshaw is an imaginary friend and Jackson does not understand why he has come back now.  The last time Jackson saw Crenshaw he was seven and he thinks he is now way too old for an imaginary friend!  But he slowly figures out he needs someone to lean on and talk to and Crenshaw the Cat is there for him!
