Cobble and Bonny are officially on their way to the ocean! Except... they might be lost in a monster-filled forest. After their run-in with the ghost hunter twins, Ruth and Dolores, Cobble and Bonny are being extra careful as they travel through the woods. At the same time, Cobble's Gregification seems to be getting worse. Will his neck be the next body part to disappear? He and Bonny need to make it to the ocean quick, so he can return to his routine before he becomes a shapeless ghost like Greg. But will they ever reach the ocean? And what if it isn't everything Bonny thought it would be?

With engaging black-and-white artwork on every page, and speech bubbles peppered throughout, this book is a total page-turner! Kids won't be able to put down this hilarious story!

Reviews

Praise for Unlikely Friends (Diary of a Dinoghost #1):

"This laugh-out-loud chapter book... follows young brontosaurus Cobble as he journals his experiences since a famous dinosaur-ending asteroid rendered him a ghost.... Bouncy text traces Cobble's diary entries, which include simple yet animated b&w illustrations. The result is a jovial and offbeat excursion." -- Publisher's Weekly
