Trust me: if you’re obsessed with perfection and have a bad reaction to mistakes, put this book down immediately. Because this story is full of mistakes, but for a good cause. It all started when two aliens as handsome as K-pop idols gave Ricky a superhero costume. But he feels more like a SUPER-MISTAKE than anything else: not only is he incredibly shy, but the suit that was supposed to give him incredible powers is actually an old pair of tights, it highlights his belly and itches like hell. Inexplicable things are happening more and more frequently: trucks full of donuts exploding with cries of “EGGPLANT IN THE BIDET!”, flying dictionaries, fleeing frogs, and above all Ricky—the incredibly shy one, remember?—who raises his voice in the face of the most unjust injustices on Earth. Luckily, he’s not alone in solving this and other mysteries: he’s joined by Jo, a budding computer genius; Toni Tanaka, a slightly crazy ex-cop; and a stuffed hippopotamus with a razor-sharp artificial intelligence inside. Oh, and Flu, a colorblind chameleon. What? Who am I? It’s a secret, but perhaps this mystery too will be solved in the end…
After the success of The Secret Society of Word Savers, Enrico Galiano returns with a story of friendship and courage, but also of failure and rebirth, celebrating mistakes as a fundamental moment in each of our growth.
