Norby Down to Earth Review

Jeff's chief goal for the week off is to study. He isn't able to do that because he has to go home to stay with Fargo, who is hurt from spraining both ankles. In Manhattan there are reports of a person zapping robots. Norby decides to make a biography of one of his fathers, Moses MacGillicuddy, a person from Earth who found some of Norby's parts from an alien spacecraft. Norby's biography research leads them to the Higgins' House, an ancient landmark of Manhattan. Miss Mynn, MacGillicuddy's daughter, is furious that her father's robot was let into the house. MacGillicuddy had made a beautiful portrait of Miss Mynn. Miss Mynn thinks that MacGillicuddy liked the portrait and Norby more than he liked her. They find out that Miss Mynn is zapping the robots. Miss Mynn then gets angry and zaps Norby. Norby is deactivated! Jeff is heartbroken. What can Jeff do? To see if they can find a way to reactivate Norby, read the book.
