Norby and the Court Jester Review

Norby, Jeff and Admiral Yobo are off to attend the Izzian Toy and Game Fair. Before they even leave, Norby gets a telepathic call for help from his friend Pera, a small robot with emotive circuits and Norby's friend who lives on the planet Izz. Someone on Izz is doing little pranks, such as making the stock quotes incorrect and making the Holographic Television transmissions on the royal family twitch and sneer. This is destroying the economy on Izz. Who is making this mischief? Could it be Ing, now the Court Jester of Izz? Read the book to find out.
