Popcorn Bob 2: THE POPCORN SPY
Illustrated by Martijn van der Linden
Translated by Nancy Forest-Flier
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?
