Item description from seller
Pobby and Dingan live in Lightning Ridge, the opal capital of Australia. They are friends with Kellyanne Williamson--indeed, only Kellyanne can see them. Pobby and Dingan are imaginary. Ashmol, Kellyanne's brother, thinks his sister should stop being so childish--until the day when Pobby and Dingan disappear, the same day that his father is accused of rarring, the worst sin an opal minder can commit. Ashmol helps his grief-stricken sister, recruiting the whole town in search of the friends. In the end, he discovers that only he can find them, and only if he too believes they are real.

This enchanting tale is at once a beautifully rendered narrative of childhood loss and a powerfully simple fable about the necessity of imagination.
Pobby and Dingan are Kellyanne Williamson’s best friends, maybe her only friends, and only she can see them. Kellyanne’s brother, Ashmol, can’t see them and doesn’t believe they exist anywhere but in Kellyanne’s immature imagination. Only when Pobby and Dingan disappear and Kellyanne becomes heartsick over their loss does Ashmol realize that not only must he believe in Pobby and Dingan, he must convince others to believe in them, too.
