Popcorn Bob

"Ellis, Dante, and Popcorn Bob are on an important top-secret mission in America. (Ellis's dads are there too. But they don't know about the mission.) When Popcorn Bob last escaped the clutches of Coraline Corn (the evil owner of Popcorn & Co.), she said that there are more live popcorn kernels in America - just like Bob! Bob can't wait to meet his family. But when he finds them, they're trapped in a chicken coop on the Popcorn & Co. grounds, living at the mercy of Coraline Corn, and whatever experiments she wants to run on them. Bob, Ellis, and Dante must team up once again to defeat Coraline Corn and free Bob's newfound family"--Provided by publisher.

"Ellis is now best friends with a grumpy, talking popcorn kernel. Yes, REALLY! Together, they're secretly handing out popcorn to Ellis's classmates (since her school is now officially a 'Healthy School'--blech), and everything is great. Bob is even learning how to control his hanger. (Kind of.) But Ellis and Bob are in danger--visitors from the possibly nefarious Popcorn & Co. are following them, and it's clear they're after Bob! Will Ellis be able to keep Bob out of their clutches?"--Back cover.

"Close your eyes for a minute and picture it: What's that one thing in your life that you live for? That you love more than anything else? That defines you, at your very core? For Ellis, that thing is popcorn. When her school 'goes healthy' and her dads decide to follow suit, banning all snack foods from their house--INCLUDING POPCORN--Ellis can't possibly obey. But when she sneaks a late-night batch of illicit popcorn, she's met with more than just her favorite salty snack. One kernel refuses to pop, and soon it's sprouted a face, arms, and legs! He introduces himself as Popcorn Bob, and he is NOT in a good mood. He's absolutely ravenous, and no amount of food seems to sate his hunger. He causes unlimited chaos for Ellis, and she decides to rid herself of him once and for all, except...she actually starts to like him. An early reader for all ages, POPCORN BOB is a laugh-out-loud story about the power of friendship, and a perfect bowl of popcorn"--Provided by the publisher.
