Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot vs. The Mecha-Monkeys From Mars
Whoops! When Ricky offers his gigantic robot friend his parents' minivan  as a skateboard substitute, neither mouse nor robot considers the consequences.  Sure enough, the skateboarders wipe out, and the van is squashed. Now it's up to  the "boys" to earn some money to pay for the damage. "Meanwhile, about 35  million miles away on the planet Mars, there lived a mean little monkey who was  hatching an evil plan." Good thing for Ricky and Robot, because, well, one  intergalactic battle leads to another, and pretty soon these two have earned  themselves a brand-new rocket-powered minivan from the general of the  Squeakyville Air and Space Association, in gratitude for saving Earth from Major  Monkey and his mecha-monkeys.Young readers will be pleased as punch to see this latest title in Dav Pilkey's  series, which includesRicky  Ricotta's Giant Robot vs. the Mutant Mosquitoes from MercuryandRicky Ricotta's Giant Robot vs. the  Voodoo Vultures from Venus, all illustrated with Martin Ontiveros's  funny black-and-white drawings.
