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 . . . He did his homework on cheese slices, but got hungry and ate them. He had his friends over for a sleepover . . . on the bedroom ceiling. Harry, Icky Ricky's favorite hot dog, just landed in his dad's toolbox. The town bully, Mean Dean, is looking to pound whoever lost his remote-controlled car. Was is Icky Ricky? Icky Ricky is up to his eyebrows in mayhem--and in ick! "Icky Ricky proves to be a satisfying new hero for readers who are ready for a more expansive view of the world than that offered by Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants series. . . . Readers will easily conclude that Ricky is awesome!"--BooklistOnline "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
