Ellis loves popcorn. Who doesn't? But one day her school goes on a healthy eating campaign and her dads decide to follow suit, banning all snack foods from their house, INCLUDING POPCORN. Unfair. Ellis has got to get around that edict, so one night she pops a bag of popcorn out back in the garage...and 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. (Ever, really.) He's absolutely ravenous, and no amount of food keeps him from being hangry. Bob causes no end of chaos for Ellis, and she decides to rid herself of him once and for all, except...she actually starts to like him. A chapter book for all ages, Popcorn Bob is a laugh-out-loud story about the power of friendship, and a perfect bowl of popcorn.

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.

Bob is loading the car for a trip. Yippee! Ick and Crud love to take trips. But suddenly this trip doesn't seem like it will be fun.

Popcorn Miracles are true, inspirational stories about extraordinary events in everyday life. These are little "popcorn--sized" reminders of the nearness of God and how He cares about every aspect of your life from the triumphs to the struggles, both large and small. These stories recount miracles, answered prayers, healings, and provisions. You may laugh, cry, or remember some of your own similar experiences. They are intended to encourage you, build faith, and help you find God. Some stories are light and fun to read. Others are weighty, like the hard un-popped kernels found at the bottom of every popcorn box.
