Mr Mosquito lives on Mercury, but he hates it there. The days are 800 degrees, and the heat melts his flip-flops, while the long nights are almost 300 degrees below zero! His toothpaste is always frozen. One day Mr. Mosquito looks through his telescope and sees all the happy mice living on planet Earth. With a powerful ray, he zaps his fingernail clippings and grows them into massive mutant mosquitoes. Then they climb aboard a spaceship to conquer Earth. Luckily for all of us, Ricky Ricotta and his giant Robot save the day-using lots of Flip-O-Rama action scenes and insect battles that children will love.

Dav Pilkey

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. He was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories, so he spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books—the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.

Since then, Dav has written and illustrated a number of bestselling and award-winning children’s books, including his Captain Underpants series and Dog Man graphic novels, which have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into many languages.

Dav lives in Washington State, USA with his wife, but his writing is inspired by children and adults around the world. His stories explore universally positive themes that celebrate the triumph of the good-hearted.
