NOW IN PAPERBACK! Ellis loves popcorn.
No, she REALLY loves popcorn.
It's serious. So when her school and her dads ban all snack foods-- INCLUDING POPCORN-- Ellis won't listen. But when she tries to quietly sneak her favorite salty snack, one kernel refuses to pop. LOUDLY. Soon, the kernel has sprouted a face, arms, and legs! He's alive, his name is Popcorn Bob, and he is NOT in a good mood. He is HANGRY. Will Ellis be able to keep Bob a secret until she can get rid of him? (And after a few days with him, will she still want to?) A Junior Library Guild Selection "Comedic hijinks and unlikely friendship ensue...an amusing series starter that's just right for young fans of the absurd." --Publishers Weekly
"A bowl of crunchy fun." --Booklist
"For readers with a taste for the bizarre." --Kirkus Reviews
