Reviews

"Pure enchantment" --The New York Times

"MAGICAL." --The Wall Street Journal

"Perfect for reading aloud or independent reading, this comfortably old-fashioned tale refreshes age-old themes of belonging, friendship, family and the power of story."--San Francisco Chronicle

"A delightfully whimsical tale that begs to be read with a friend. Don't miss Bob." --The Christian Science Monitor

"This is a welcome addition to the middle-grade canon and will likely become a classic. Bob deserves readership beyond middle grade."--San Francisco Book Review

"An unusual fantasy with simplicity, immediacy, and wit."--Booklist, starred review

"Five years ago, Livy left her friend Bob, who she describes as a zombielike creature, in the closet of her grandmother's house in Australia without saying goodbye. Bob has loyally awaited Livy's return, dressed in the chicken suit she made to disguise him, and hopeful about the promise she made to help him find his way home, wherever that may be. ... A perfectly paced plot, supported by secondary characters to whom readers will relate and luminous artwork by Gannon, fill out a story that readers will eagerly embrace."--School Library Journal, starred review

"Offer[s] just the right blend of mystery and cozy magic in a rewarding story about how friendships--and people--evolve over time."--Bookpage

"Perfect for a family read-aloud, this has short chapters, occasional illustrations and a heartwarming conclusion."--Providence Journal
