Publisher's Synopsis
Ricky Roach is a curious youth who lives with his family on Houser Street. Like most young roaches, Ricky has fun with his friends and enjoys hip-hop music and playing video games. His life changes when he frolics in some wet sticky yellow paint, leaving him ill and altering his appearance. When he recovers and is able to return to school, he is ridiculed for his strange looks-yellow-stained and overgrown. He has turned into a mutant cockroach! Captain Amos recruits him into his rowdy gang of black ants where they get into mischief swarming aliens. They even raid a restaurant, where Ricky's life is endangered. Now the young insect must decide which path to follow for his future.
