Then when the fibbers astronaut costume for the parade is every bit as spectacular as he bragged it would be and flashier than Martins our hero feels as fizzled out as a misfired rocket booster. Martin sure doesnt like Harper much. Will Martin step in and help when Harper gets in trouble, or let him get what he deserves? In the second story, when Martin demonstrates a moonwalk worthy of his favorite cartoon superhero, Zip Rideout, a nasty fall lands him in the hospital for stitches. He begins to wonder why Zip never gets so much as a scratch in all his perilous adventures. Has Martins highflying opinion of Zip Rideout landed back on earth with a painful thud?
