Ricky Ricotta and Mighty Robot are in trouble
again. This time they have wrecked the family car by using it as a skateboard
for the gigantic robot. Now they need to find some way to pay for the damage.
But before they can, they are caught up in the
plans of another villain, the mean little Major Monkey. This evil monkey would
love to enslave earth's inhabitants. He is lonely on Mars and has no one to
talk to, or more importantly, no one to be mean to. But he has been watching
the heroic deeds of Ricky Ricotta and Mighty Robot and knows he needs to
outsmart this pair or his evil plan will end in the same manner as the previous
ones. He needs to set a trap...
This fourth Ricky Ricotta follows the
last three adventures with Ricky and mighty Robot up against evil creatures
from other planets who want to take over earth. Short, fully illustrated and
easy to read, this series is great for young and beginning readers who want a
fast, action-packed and humorous read. Both the text and illustrations are fun
and the imaginative villains, mini-comic
fight scenes and alliterative text make an entertaining read.
