Robot Rumble
alternate cover edition for ASIN B01C222LKK
Since returning from her mission in Ninjastoria, Agent Darcy can’t think straight. Her hacking lessons with Agent Evelyn are boring, her classes seem pointless, and her curse can’t be cured.
Ninja Steve has come home to find that his parents have been captured. His sister, Nora, has a rescue plan, but it requires a treacherous journey beyond the borders of Ninjastoria.
When the mecha-moles launch an attack on the Bureau of Sneakery, Darcy finds herself on a perilous mission to save her comrades. Meanwhile, a familiar man in a gray mask arrives in Ninjastoria, carrying a mysterious gift that can’t be good for anyone. Or can it?
Every move brings Darcy and Steve closer and closer to the sealed-off country of Botsylvania, where a power-hungry robot is ready to start a revolution.
Get ready for spy gear and spin-kicks. Get ready for danger and daring. Get ready for…

About the author
Grant Goodman
6 books26 followersMiddle grade author Grant Goodman draws inspiration from what drove his imagination as a kid: a love of comics, cartoons, and video games.
Grant’s magic formula is to take little pieces of what inspires him, and then weave them together to make something that’s all his own. His Agent Darcy & Ninja Steve series is a combination of his first job as a martial arts instructor, the heartfelt friendships in Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the imagination of Adventure Time’s landscapes.
Grant enjoys stories that have magic, robots, dragons, ghosts, or vampires, but what he loves most about a great book is when characters gain new skills that help them to become better people. As an author, he finds real value when his readers see characters make progress, grow their friendship circles, feel more secure about their place in the world, and achieve the goals they’ve always dreamed of achieving.
When he’s not busy writing about ninjas, gadgets, special agents, and secret powers, Grant is busy teaching high school English classes in Maryland, reading comics, and cooking up new recipes with his wife.
Agent Darcy & Ninja Steve is his debut book series.

A fun, tongue-in-cheek, quick read.
July 3, 2016
My son enjoyed it, I won this book through the Goodreads Giveaway.
January 10, 2018
I won a Goodreads copy of Agent Darcy & Ninja Steve in TIGER TROUBLE. Loved it. Five Stars. Passed along my copy to my sister’s grandson. For Christmas, I bought the grandson a copy of ROBOT RUMBLE (and bought an additional copy for me).
After the magic of Tiger Trouble, Robot Rumble was a slight let down. It was confusing early on but did finally gel. The book was good, just not as good as Tiger Trouble.
Best new Character: Augustus the support robot.
Grant Goodman does have an enticing set up for Book 3 (By the way the spine of the books in this series number the books - Robot Rumble has a big ‘2’ on the spine).
Part of the confusion early on (and somewhat later in the book) is the author’s assuming the reader read (and recalls) many things from the first book (Tiger Trouble.) If you’re a new reader to this series, you need to start with Book 1: Tiger Trouble

3.5 stars
This was a pretty good story! The ending was NOT expected, and not fair!
SPOILERS
Darcy didn't act in it. She happened to be there, but she didn't voice her agreement with Steve, and she tried to stop Steve from saying it!

December 18, 2016Much like the first installment, I loved the second novel in the Agent Darcy and Ninja Steve series. Reading these makes me wish I could be as cool as Agent Darcy!! Grant does a great job with these novels - the descriptions are so vivid, I can see the whole story play out in my head. Can't wait for the next one to come out and find out what happens next!
