Bumpy's 1st Movie: The Junior Novelization is a chapter book based on the movie of the same name.

Synopsis

 * From Amazon.com

"Something's fishy is going on! When Bumpy tries to avoid doing chores by making clones of himself to do it for him, a blue evil clone named Toughy is made by accident. Toughy kidnaps Bumpy's friends and, using a set of TNT and explosives, shoots Bumpy into a haunted house. In the house, Bumpy meets three ghosts, Dingo, Francis, and Betty. and rule the sea! Will Bumpy and his new ghost friends be able to save Mac and Nuthead and make it back in time to save the fate of the world?"

Differences from the movie

 * Much like other books based on a movie, the book either adds parts or information not included in the actual movie. One example is on page 18: it says that Toughy had stuffed Mac and Nuthead into a dark and scary bag, but in the movie, he is only seen tying Mac and Nuthead onto a pole.
 * There had some dialogues from the movie changed in this novel since the original dialogues were considered insensitive to young readers, like Bumpy says "or they will be doomed" instead of "or they will be dead," and Toughy says "I'll get even with you too!" instead of "I will destroy you too!."
 * In a deleted scene, during Bumpy's awakening in the haunted house, he asks for "a kiss from his mommy." This rejected line can be seen in the novel.
