Popcorn Bob 3: In America (Hardcover)

Description

---

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.

The third installment to this chapter book series brings back all the zaniness that readers know and love, plus a new cross-continental adventure, and lots more friends.
