Livvy hasn't been to see her grandma in Australia in five years and remembers very little about her first visit. She discovers that the reason she can't remember is Bob, a green not-zombie who has hid in the closet since she left five years ago. Livvy made Bob a chicken costume to hide him from everyone else when she was five, but it appears no one but her can see or hear him. 

This was an interesting story. It was a different kind of fairy tale. I enjoyed Bob and Livvy's adventure, but it was very short and felt more like a novella. Listening to the book meant that I didn't get to see the illustrations, which is a shame. I did enjoy that it was narrated by two people as the book is told from two points of view. There are a lot of lists at the beginning which made me cringe, but thankfully they didn't continue throughout the book. Fun and short story that was enjoyable to listen to.
