    Jessica Lee is an educator in the Berkeley Unified School District.

It’s been five years since Livy and her family have visited Livy’s grandmother in Australia and, in that time, she has almost forgotten about her promise to Bob, the short, greenish creature living in Gran’s closet. Now it’s time to keep that promise and help this sweet and lonely zombie-like creature unravel the mystery of where he comes from. Peculiar things happen as the story unfolds in alternating chapters narrated by Livy and Bob.
