Akiko and the Missing Misp

Akiko Books #10

by Mark Crilley

AKIKO NEVER KNOWS when her next adventure will zoom her away to another galaxy. And when she’s visited by the Akiko replacement robot in the middle of the first annual Middleton Mega MangaFest, she’s more than eager to visit her friends on planet Smoo.

But when Akiko lands on Smoo, it’s different. And so are her friends. King Froptoppit’s castle is smaller, no one has any idea who she is, and Mr. Beeba has—no way!—a full head of hair. Akiko got to planet Smoo all right—but it’s planet Smoo 25 years ago. And now that Akiko is part of Smoovian history, she might just change it. For the worse!

Reviews

[Marilyn · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was suggested as a princess-free read in Wired magazine, and it does fit that description, but in other ways is unremarkable. The adventures of Akiko and the planet Smoo began as a comic book and that origin is evident here; it reads like a narration of a comic. Characters, plot and writing are juvenile. Akiko is spunky and cute, and her time-travel adventures make for a quick read, but there's nothing much to recommend this otherwise.

This is an awesome one in the series. In it Akiko is in the sip but gets transfered back in time. And the fate of the future rests in her hands. What time does she go back to? Will she save the future? Will she make the future fall apart? Read this book and find out.
