Norby Finds a Villain & Norby Down to Earth, The Norby Chronicles

In the sixth volume of the complete children’s sci-fi series, Jeff and Norby reunite with an adventurous princess and uncover the mystery of Norby’s maker.

Norby Finds a Villain

Jeff and his mixed-up robot, Norby, are joined by red-headed Rinda, Crown Princess of the planet Izz, and Rinda’s small robot, Pera. Their time-travelling adventures take them from the Pleistocene period to five hundred years into a false future. Along the way, they must tame evil forces of Ing the Incredible Ingrate and bring back the Others, the intelligent and wise beings from ancient times.

Norby Down to Earth

Jeff Wells has a space dynamics test coming up at the academy, but when he hears that his brother, Fargo, is in trouble down on Earth, he and Norby blast into hyperspace and head home to help. It turns out that Fargo has tripped into a mystery involving zapped robots and stolen computer parts. Norby, in his inimitable mixed-up way, manages to jump into the middle of the mystery through his research into MacGillicuddy, his maker. It seems that MacGillicuddy left behind a very strange family. . . .

Isaac Asimov, Janet Asimov

Isaac Asimov was a Russian‑born American writer and the author of nearly five hundred books. He is credited as one of the finest writers of science fiction in the twentieth century. Many, however, believe Asimov’s greatest talent was for, as he called it, “translating” science, making it understandable and interesting for the average reader.
