Meet Icky Ricky, a boy whose passion for all things slimy lands him in sticky situations. When Bigfoot is rumored to roam his neighborhood, and a one-eyed squirrel swipes his favorite treat, Ricky's world turns upside down. As he dons a trashbag hazmat suit to tackle mutant threats, Ricky must navigate a whirlwind of bizarre adventures. Will his love for muck spell disaster, or can he clean up the chaos before it's too late? Dive into Ricky's world of mayhem and find out if he can handle the ick!
From the publisher
The creator of Goodnight Goon and The Runaway Mummy pulls from his mad-scientist brain a kid so attracted to slime, muck, dirt, and yuck he could only be called Icky Ricky. Uh-oh! Icky Ricky is in trouble and has a lot of explaining to do. Why? Well, you see . . . Someone spotted Bigfoot in Icky Ricky’s neighborhood!Icky Ricky and his friends had a teary funeral . . . for a pepperoni pizza.A crazy one-eyed squirrel stole his Palooka Pops.Icky Ricky’s trashbag hazmat suit might not be enough to protect him from mutants while he’s cleaning up trash around town. Is it the end of the world for Icky Ricky? Icky Ricky is up to his eyebrows in mayhem–and in ick! “Hits the gross-out sweet spot.”–Kirkus”I thoroughly enjoyed these books, and I look forward to more icky adventures from young Ricky.”–Nick Bruel, author of Bad Kitty
