Synopsis

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?)
