Cobble starts a diary because he has begun losing track of the passing days. He has a set routine everyday: He commutes on the bus, visits the haunted lighthouse, and observes a seven-year-old boy named Kevin who's obsessed with ketchup. But Cobble's world gets turned upside-down when he meets Bonny, a goldfish ghost (who's forever trapped in the fishbowl where she died by ketchup!). Bonny is determined to travel to the ocean, but Cobble is worried about breaking his routine, which could have horrible consequences... There are ghost rules that need to be followed! Will Cobble agree to help Bonny reach the ocean?

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!
