Bookroo's summary

Ellis's best friend is Bob, a grumpy, talking popcorn kernel. Together, they defy their school's healthy snack rules by secretly distributing popcorn. But their fun is threatened when mysterious agents from Popcorn & Co. start tailing them, clearly targeting Bob. As danger looms, Ellis must protect her unusual friend. Can she outsmart their pursuers and keep Bob safe? This quirky tale of friendship and adventure will leave you wondering if they'll pop under pressure or find a way to triumph.

From the publisher

NOW IN PAPERBACK! 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? Praise for Popcorn Bob “Comedic hijinks and unlikely friendship ensue…just right for young fans of the absurd.” –Publishers Weekly “A bowl of crunchy fun.” –Booklist “Gloriously muddy foolery.” –Kirkus Reviews
