Bob by Wendy Mass

Cover image for BobLivy does not remember when she visited at age five her grandmother in Australia.  When she returns at age ten she finds that a little green man has been living in the closet waiting for her to return for five long years.  When they are reunited, Livy sets out to discover what Bob is and how he can return to his own people.

This is a charming little fantasy story that would be appropriate for a variety of ages.  There are no huge social issues, or big battle scenes, just a little girl and her unsusual friend trying to figure things out. This is a great choice for kids who like a good story, but are sensitive about violence or scary things.  (2018, 201p.)
