Booktalk #1 It’s been five years since Livy last visited her grandmother in Australia – and when she finally returns she finds Bob, a greenish zombie-like creature in a chicken suit, who has been obediently waiting in her closet all this time. (He’s spent the years crying and building Lego pirate ships.) A tale of friendship, love, and magic, told in the alternating voices of Livy and Bob. (Dorothy Canfield Fisher Book Award 2019 - 2020) Booktalk #2 Have you ever had an imaginary friend? Livy has an imaginary friend living at her Gran Nicholas’ house, but he isn’t so imaginary, it turns out. Bob is real! Livy has to figure out who this green creature is that has been living in the closet since her last visit and how to fulfill her promise of getting him back home. Will she remember how she met Bob and find a way to help him get home? (Oklahoma Sequoyah Book Awards, 2020) Booktalk #3 Livy is now 10 and is visiting her grandmother in Australia. It has been 5 years since she has been back. As soon as she arrives she realizes she has forgotten something at the house. She is right, she forgot about Bob. Bob is a small greenish creature that wears a chicken suit. Bob did not forget about her or the promise she made him 5 years ago. He hid in the closet waiting for her to come back and fulfill her promise of helping him find out where he is from and his home. These two hunt for clues and discover where he is from and why she had forgotten him. This book is so charming and is all about friendship and kindness with a little magic mixed in.
