In this installment of the newly illustrated series, Ricky wishes for a size-appropriate friend for his giant robot; the wish comes true, but the Ladybot is key to an alien's plan to take over Earth. The slight plot is accompanied by full-color digital art. With several "flip-o-rama" animation pages and embedded comic-book sequences, this chapter book will appeal to reluctant readers.
