librarianryan 's review for:

Bob by Rebecca Stead, Nicholas Gannon, Wendy Mass
3.0

Bob was a really sweet story that was really hard to get into. The book is only 200 pages, but the first 100 were almost never ending. It’s the set up to the story. Bob has been hiding in the closet of a house in Australia for 5 years. Livy is a US girl who is visiting her grandmother in Australia. The last time she was there was five years ago. Livy was just a little kid, she remembers very little of her first visit, and is quite surprised by the little green guy who keeps saying they used to be friends. Their friendship redevelops as Livy tries to discover just exactly what Bob is and where he comes from, since he can't live the rest of his life dressed in a chicken costume at the bottom of her grandmother’s closet. The ending is what makes this book so sweet. It about finding where you belong, and holding on to those you deem important. Others may find it just as hard to get into, but I promise, it is worth it in the end.
