Norby and the Court Jester (The Norby Series)
Grade 4-6-- Fans of the Norby books (Walker) and newcomers alike will enjoy this rollicking adventure. Space Cadet Jeff Wells and his robot Norby are planning a vacation on the planet Izz. Admiral Yobo, head of Jeff's academy, decides to join them to escape his federation duties. Thanks to Norby's ability to travel through hyperspace, the three are quickly dropped into the odd world of Izz, which will be familiar to readers of the previous books. Evil Ing has become court jester, and Jeff soon suspects him of hatching a plot to overthrow the monarchy. The story unfolds quickly, and the mystery element has just enough suspense to give readers a feeling of accomplishment when they solve it. For even reluctant readers with a computer interest, this is good fun and an excellent hook to other books in the series. --Anne Connor, Los Angeles Public LibraryCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
